Finally Editing KILLER OF KILLERS

So my edits are in. They came in late Friday, and I got busy right away. Spent a good part of the weekend at it, too. Only took a break for a Father's Day celebration with my family. Never forget your family. That's for sure. I know of people who have sacrificed their family, not deliberately, of course, but nonetheless, for their obsession for success, or just to get published.

But this post is not about Father's Day. It is about my edits. I had already found out that Nancy, the publisher, was my editor, but Sherry Derr-Wille is also my editor. I guess I get two editors, how about that? And it's a blast going over their edits.

Mostly what I'm learning is POV. Strangely, my prior editors at Virtual Tales and Cogito never made an issue of POV when they edited THE VASE. I suppose one of two things is at play here. Either I didn't make any POV mistakes on THE VASE, or Melange Books editors are much pickier about it.

But that, really, is the only issue they seem to have with it. So I'm learning how to deal with that. And I should be done with it some time this week. And then I'll send it back. I'll probably get it back again before I go to Disneyland. I hope I'll be able to get it back to them before I go. We'll see.
