Big, long slog to dial back Shaifennen's dialect and patter. Aggravating but necessary. On the up-side, it's letting me catch a number of other small errors as I go through it again.

Will be off-line for quite a while. My 2nd edit came through on Book I. Ellen says, "The book is amazing; your characterizations are amazing, and, what is most exciting to me, the last fifty pages are unputdownable." And also she says, "...an extremely deep edit, which is a good thing and a compliment to you."
I take that to mean, now we will make the first 250 pages as unputdownable as the last fifty! Ha! Although I haven't yet opened the actual document she's warned me it will be exhaustive. She did in-line suggestions and track changes for the house style as well as the editing letter.
Every step will be filled with learning opportunities. I can not wait!
Book II will have to sit. An accompanying short story will have to percolate without key strokes, as will blogging. In addition, the to-be-read list and reviews will go on hold.
