Continuing to need a Trial icon
Finished the first read-through/hard copy edit of Trial last week, took a bit of time for distance and to work at the bill-paying job, and intend to commence applying said edits to the .doc this week. That might sound easy, but really it's basically an entire second edit of the draft, because I have to read everything again and I'll catch new things to change and also edit my edits. I also need to decide whether I'm going to do a serious line edit for that final 1/3 of the draft that didn't get line edited the way the first 2/3s did. Likely I'll make that decision when I get there.
Also, sent a follow up e-mail to an agent who requested the full for Skywatch. We're past the "follow up if you haven't heard by" date, so I'm following up. I have about a million worst-case scenarios going through my head, and you don't want to know how long (and how much research) it took me to write an e-mail that was literally two sentences. Now, of course, I have to wait again. Deep breaths and continuing to send out the query.
