That's basically what NYRSF work weekend turns out to be: people sitting around David's living room, passing around manuscripts, marking them with everything from minor corrections (commas included) to "this was not the cause of the French Revolution", "too much of a reach", or "cut this paragraph." Discussions of topics spun off of the manuscripts, or other random conversation (mostly gossip).
Out of this come simple edits, more complex ones, and sometimes requests for major revisions. And a magazine.
All of this was punctuated by an enthusiastic four-year-old (who enthusiastically fell down a half-flight of stairs at one point) and a very patient long-haired cat.
And then, half-asleep, making my way home. (Kevin picked me up, and would have driven me home, but only if I was willing to stay until things were done, i.e. 3 a.m.) Metro-North to 125th, crosstown bus, and home on the A train. Where I live, getting home from the northern suburbs is a lot faster if I stay out of midtown: bus service is good enough that I can be at the A platform before the railroad train stops at Grand Central.
