Can't sleep, copyedits will eat me... can't sleep...

I am now at the next stage on my journey to publication: COPYEDITS. This involves lots of necessary nitpicking to fix grammatical issues and inconsistencies, and I'm learning a great deal about how I abuse the English language.

My deadline is tight--this is due before Christmas--and I must read through the book a few times. The holidays are always kinda crazy, but this year? Oh, boy.

To paraphrase the great Red Green, I need to keep my stick on the ice. You people take care. I'll say hi when I can.
