Just finished going through the galley proof. Man, I love this novel. Even though I have dozens and dozens of corrections to make -- about 25% technical, 75% stylistic -- I know now this will become what I conceived it to be. I already know from my four readers that there will be an audience for this, no doubt small, but that's not really the point. The point is, I can make this what I want it to be. What else is a writer supposed to do?
Moreover, I had a good early morning and got most of my prep work done for school. By Super Bowl time, I may even be in the mood to relax and watch it.
Now I begin the grunt work of inputting changes to the novel. Some of the tech stuff -- changes in line spacing, changes in font color -- baffle me. Why did this happen? I know how to fix it but have no idea how it happened in the first place. Mysteries of codes, I'm sure.
And I feel better, at about 75% now. A terrific day!
