I've finished the first pass-through on <i>A Local Habitation</i>! Yes! Every chapter has been smacked with the editorial machete of Bringing Things Into Line With The Final Submitted Version of <i>Rosemary and Rue</i>! Now, this doesn't mean that it's done, submission-ready, ready for print, or anything fancy like that...<br /><br />...but it does mean that I'm done with the really heavy lifting, and can start worrying about the pacing, the flow, the subtle points of continuity, and the fact that I somehow made it through multiple drafts of the book without noticing that I had a car suddenly materialize twenty-six chapters in. Win!<br /><br />As I am still too sick to die, I will retreat with my triumph to update my continuity guide.
