Thank you for typing all of this in and adding your comments. I'm on the verge of starting my quest for publication (making a final dip, fluff and comb run through my novel) so this is both timely and interesting for my part. I think the best thing is to hear that, scary as all the legalese can be, these clauses are rarely invoked. Otherwise it feels like signing away my first-born child. (On a given day, I might sign him away. But my first novel? EEEK!)
At the end of the contract phase, with my little bits and pieces thrown in to either a) keep you awake or b) keep me awake, I'll do a round up about what happened with my first novel, and put it in a wider context for the books of 1991.
