Back to Basics

Finished the shiny new chapter and slipped it into place. At first I wasn't sure about it, but by the time I was done I liked it quite a bit. It also plays well with its neighbors, which is important in the long run.

This, of course, means that last night I was back to editing. To the right is what a typical page looks like after my highlighter, pen and sticky tabs are through with it. Impressive? That's not what I heard.

At the rate I'm going, I should have the whole thing edited and cleaned up by June. Then I'm going to reprint the alpha-edited product (about $25 at Kinkos, which is about what it would cost me to buy an ink cartridge) and read it for coherency before I get it printed up and mailed to the beta readers.

Note to self: pick up 9x12 envelopes, 6x9 envelopes, stamps, staples and a new lorazepam scrip. This one's gonna be a fighter.
