Apr. 13th, 2007 05:11 pm...a copyedited manuscript, due on or before 4/27. I have my special Col-Erase color pencils, recommended by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
barbarienne, which are the Office Supplies of the Moment (see pbray's recent post). My manuscript was copyedited electronically, so it doesn't appear to matter what color pencil I use to mark my edits. I may go with something like blue or purple, which are dark and show up well.
In addition, on this (unanticipated) copyediting weekend:
1 battery-operated pencil sharpener
tape flags
Get hold of CE reference sheet
Have all four previous books in series within easy reach for checking purposes
Add salt to list of caffeine/chocolate/alcohol. Go grocery shopping before starting CE
Must buy Post-it notes.
In other news, Mme Editor sent me the rough draft of the ENDGAME cover and Oh Holy Mother, is it lovely. It's killing me that I have to sit on it for a while. The title lettering is copper instead of the blue-grey that was mentioned previously, and it shows up very well. Folks in Mme Editor's office have apparently been raving. Raving is Good. Long May Everyone Rave.
It's a dandy cover.

Not in this lifetime

 You are almost super-humanly upbeat. You have a very positive energy that surrounds you. And while you are happy go lucky, you're also charmingly assertive. You get what you want, even if you have to persuade those against you to see things your way. Reflective and thoughtful, you know yourself well - and you know that you want out of life. |
