...a copyedited manuscript, due on or before 4/27. I have my special Col-Erase color pencils, recommended by [livejournal.com profile] barbarienne, which are the Office Supplies of the Moment (see [livejournal.com profile] 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.

I don't know who's been assigned to the Eos cover stuff in the past couple of years, but boo-yeah, they are kicking serious ass.

I so happy!

Congrats on the cover. And good luck on the copyedits!
