said friend has a (family member) who owns a publishing business

Get a friend who can help you proof read and crank through it looking for errors. You can do this in today since its still the weekend.

Snowleopard:
Get the first three chapters done up as perfect as you can make them and
do an outline of the whole story.
3 chapters and an outline is what many publishing places ask for.
You can add a note saying that you have the rest of the chapters but they
need to be proof read first.
That way you keep everybody happy and you don't kill yourself.
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
Through pass on chapters 8-20 of the book that comes before TISBWO on Sunday; one more day like that and I will be through this pass, then I have to sort the supplementary material out (I am cutting three chapters for pacing, and that means rearranging all the chapter-header quotes and emails and stuff) and then that thing will be done. I'm pruning about 10% of the wordcount in general on this pass; this really was fairly overwritten.
Also, as things that seemed cool when I first wrote this in 2002, the thematically significant statues of weeping angels ? Have to go now, damn it.
