more editing

Muaha. I am encouraged by commenters to continue this play by play editing process.

I don’t even know *what* today’s goal is. Reaching page 500 seems like an extremely lofty one, given that 2 days of this has gotten me to page 275original/250new. On the other hand, I’ve passed the “I can really take big chunks out” stage, so this might go faster.

Oh you don't want your editor to think you are a genius who can edit a mss in a week - after you finish you need to lay low for another week before admitting it is done!

This isn't fast. Fast would have been turning it in last week, not next week. :)

Not a writer or editor--just a reader and a fan. So, I'm a bit of an intruder posting here. Still, the above made me laugh. I can't imagine the stress that goes into a finished project. Thank you.

Good heavens, you're not an intruder at all. It's ideal for readers and fans to be here! And you're welcome!

Apropos of nothing, I like your userpic. :)

Ha! Thank you. BTW, some gooey fan gush -- OMG OMG I ADORE YOUR BOOKS! :D

[mizkit]

Aww! *beams* Thank you! Man, there's nothing like a good gush to make me happy to go back to work. :) I'm glad you're enjoying them!
