One Step Further along the WRITE Direction

Having previously alluded to the 8-plus-year journey of writing my second novel in the genre of Women’s Fiction, I’m one step further along the WRITE direction in 2016:

March 31st - Submitted AN ENLIGHTENING QUICHE for publication.

May 13th – Received the first electronic galley proof to read, revise, and edit.

May 31st - Submitted the first proof along with an accompanying master correction list of 93 edits.

June 24th - Received the second electronic galley proof to pour through.

June 27th – Submitted the second proof along with an accompanying master correction list of 9 edits.

July 27th – Received the third electronic galley proof, and thus far, have come across 5 minor “hyphen” bugaboos.

Mind you, all of my edits are minor and more than likely unnoticeable.

Yet, to the exclusion of much else, I intend to hunker down until I read the entire document with the magnifying lens of an editor’s third eye. Far from perfect, I’m undaunted in affecting the obsessive compulsiveness of Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth, exorcising my pangs of conscience:

“Out, damn'd spot! Out, I say!”
