I have completed the copy edits to Desert Rising and sent them back, two days early. It was intense, working with the timeline of the novel and the copy editor noticed every itty-bitty discrepancy. Copy editing must take a different sort of mind than I. A mind that is organized beyond comprehension of someone with complete imaginative chaos like my what's in my brain. I both admire and fear someone with that level of detail awareness.
My wonderful editor has sent the novel on to production. All changes are complete. The next time I see Desert Rising, it will be in book form. I've made it through every part of my first professional book edit. And what a difference it has made in the novel! Those of you who read it in the first form will still recognize it, but it has grown in richness and depth and I am proud of the work I've done with Rebecca's guidance. Happy Dance! My baby is ready to go out into the wider world!
