I’ve been letting REVISIONARY hang over my head for about a week longer than I should have. The problem was that checking a proof copy for errors is simultaneously tiresome, frustrating, and futile. It must be done; you will catch errors that have managed to elude you thus far; and you cannot hope to catch all the other errors that have managed to elude you thus far. There’s a joke in this business that the best way to instantly find mistakes is to push ‘Send,’ only nobody’s laughing. Or at least they’re not laughing with humor.
Next up: second pass-through on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION story edits. That link offers a discount on signed copies of REVISIONARY and ANAGNORISIS, by the way. Just saying.
