I-i-i-t’s Copyedit Time!
Yup, the copyedit for Daughter of Blood has arrived in my intray with an almighty ker-thump!
And yes, them’s the actual facts, folks, even if it is my electronic intray. I was awa’ when it arrived and still heard the e-kerthump from a considerable distance.
I was quite optimistic that this copyedit would be straightforward since I sneaked in an extry read-through/edit in the first quarter of the year — when no one was looking, of course!
But alas, I was focused on getting the Story Right and apparently have been a Delinquent Author when it comes to adhering to a Consistent Style — and consequently have a Style Guide that would fit into the continent of Africa, or at least both the Americas, to try and get my head around.
Given this, I am not sure whether when it says Style Guide I should not interpolate, Bludgeon…
But, we shall see… It may be that it all turns out to be Perfectly Easy and the three week turn-around is not, after all, A Nightmare In Suburban Christchurch, the Upside Isles, Somewhere-Near-The-Bottom-Of-The-World. 😉
Have fun with your weeks, dear Blog Readers. Tomorrow is Tuesday Poem, so I shall let you know Wednesday how the Great Copyedit Adventure is going.
