copy edits & octocon

[mizkit]

A hundred pages done. Out of those 100, there are, I think, two pages upon which nothing is stetted. Of those two, one of them had only one CE change and the other had maybe three. Most had...far more than that, so it was a hundred very long pages. 321 to go

Oh no. Just when you were having fun again. How unfair!

I’ve had this happen. Not often, but more than once. And maybe more than twice, although memory fades. Luckily.

What I do remember is that it was terrifying each time, because I kept imagining the worst, i.e. what if production ended up siding with the CE, and the disputed/inappropriate edits were still there when the galleys arrived? Then I’d have no choice but to buy the book back so that it would never see print in that condition.

So I stetted like a woman possessed, and it always worked out in the end. But I swear it took its toll, so I feel for you.

Stay strong.

I honestly think that's the worst part. "Oh look, fun! oh, *damn*, arse-deep in misery..."

I shall persevere!

(as well as a picture of Ted studying Kate's cleavage!).
How did you find that? I didn't tell anyone I'd posted it - yet.
And BTW this is why I like taking off-the-cuff photos.

And I hadn't gotten around to posting it - I don't have to now - but it does mean I can't blackmail him over it ;)

Oh, I went up to the gallery level on the shoes page to see what other pictures were posted there and found that one. :) Did you want me to take the link down?

[xnamkrad]

No, leave it there. I was going to post it anyway, but then I thought I'd let Irishkate post it.

It is a good shot. I'll post the other Octocon photos later.
