Ultimate editing, part 1

I spent an entire workday's worth of time, eight full hours, editing words, commas, semicolons, dashes, etc. and rewriting words, phrases, adding in new text and dialogue...and wow.  Just wow.  It was intense.  The saddest part of all that wonderful work, as much as it strengthened the prose, is that I'm merely halfway.

The true work comes now, as I have an entire other half of a manuscript to edit now, as well as format for eBook (which means coding each paragraph, page break, chapter break, and italics in HTML so that it works happily with eReaders).

A wonderful, positive note: still on board for the mid-May release of the first novella (one of three comprising the empath trilogy)!  So hooray for deadlines!
