Yesterday, I finished my first pass through the copy-edited manuscript. Once my husband, the estimable Mirrorthaw, has finished reading it (for the (n + 1)th time because he is a hero of the revolution), I'll go back through and tear my hair out over the word-choice issues. And then send it back to New York.
Also yesterday, I finished the raw draft (we're not even to "rough" yet) of Chapter 9 of Kekropia, weighing in at 11,477 words. And I am facing, not graciously, the fact that I really do have to go back and reread the entire novel up to this point, because I can't remember who knows what about which. But at least I've reached that conclusion because I need specific information before I can go on, rather than because I'm stuck and I don't know what else to do. It does make a difference.
I'm going into 2005 with a lot of work before me, but that's cool. That's the way I want things to be.
