Definitely agree with you about not putting all of the research into your story. I listened to a Clive Cussler book on the way home from a family trip last week, and I wanted to punch the guy in the throat for all of the details he kept putting in the story (granted, that's partially the genre and I realize that I am likely not his target audience). There needs to be a balance. Yes, I know you spent three days researching this exclusive thing, author, but if it trips up your cadence or takes away from your story, swallow your lumps and don't put it in.

Thanks for the tip on the doctor grasshopper blog! I'm heading over to read it right now. You never know when you're going to need to read more about medical stuff in a story. (muhaha)
