Editing
Last night, I finally finished my first editing pass through the story. Found a couple of continuity tweaks, and took out all of the excess commas, which was about 20% of them (I tend to get pretty comma happy, especially when I'm trying to write quickly). My loyal beta readers have finished their first read through and are even now compiling their feedback for me. My big plan is to get feedback from them on the 10th, then spend the next few days frantically formatting to meet the Lulu deadline.
I've already formatted the first-page blurb, the title page, and the first two chapters, just to see what it will look like. Since the first two chapters don't seem to need much editing, they're probably not going to need many changes.
It looks really sharp. Perhaps I'll pdf it later and see about posting it somewhere for people to see.
I still need cover art, though. Any volunteers?
