I can make her memorable by saying she's a distinctly striking lady or something. She doesn't have to be scary. (But she is scary, of course. Scary and creepy. My EX hated to see the postcards on my dining room table.) As for editing, I can edit, but I don't really like to. I think there are others who enjoy it more than I do, and there are many who are faster. Good luck in your writing as well.... Claire,

Even with humor, it has a negative connotation and my philosophy is always to try to sell things positively. A business development friend always tells me to try to get in the client's head and help them see what's in it for them. Just my unsolicited advice for a fellow writer. I sincerely wish you luck!
