Finished, But...
All right. Last night I made it all the way through that second round of edits. And even had some time to review some of them. But I wasn't fast on the trigger, and I didn't send it back to Penumbra yet. No, I've learned by now to not be so quick. Instead, I'll go home after work today, and review those edits. Even the ones I've already reviewed. Of course, the amount of revising wasn't as much as the first round, but still there seems to be a lot, and I even had to rewrite a couple paragraphs. I'm using Track Changes, this time, and when you do that, the original wording is left on the document, but it's crossed out, and combined with using comments in the margin, which also highlights the relevant text, it can look a little confusing and/or convoluted. So I put the clean rewritten versions of the two paragraphs I rewrote in the comments, just to make sure they are clear on how those two paragraphs are supposed to read. Bottom line, the manuscript has never been better. I believe it could pass the inspection of even the toughest literary police out there. I'm hoping it gets the chance. It's a winner.
