Here's an interesting dilemma. The copyright licensing agency for a song lyric I'd REALLY like to use in my volumes just
approved my usage. Great. Now I have to decide if I want to pay the fee (it isn't huge but ...) and then go back and update my published volume 1 to re-include it from my rough draft.
I already know the answer (yes - it really helps the tone of the relationships in the band) but it's annoying it took them so damned long (two months) to do a five minute task of reading the usages and responding.
Maybe I'll go watch the puddles gather rain for a while
edit: I've updated the hard cover edition to put the tune back in. Will update the ebooks and the paperback version next week. The sections really do read a lot better with "No Rain" in the dialog. All the other tune lyrics (like "Rockstar") were much easier to work around.
