Now, The Vase is Ready
I think. I mean, I had finished all the edits last night at around 9:30, and then I took a break, spent some time with my son, and I was going to send it back to Penumbra, but at the last second, I decided just to skim through it one last time before sending, and sure enough, there was a dangling preposition. Now, it really isn't that necessary to not have a dangling preposition, especially these days when the Word Police are more lax on stuff like that, but this particular one just wasn't needed. I remember typing it, and thinking then that it was a dangling preposition, but thought it was a necessary one. But when I skimmed though the manuscript late last night, I realized that, not only was it not necessary, it stood out like a sore thumb. So I deleted it, and the sentence reads just fine. But then I thought, heck, just wait one more day, skim through it one more time tonight, and then send it. So we'll see. Could very well be that today will be the day.
