Have completed book one, with a nice buffer of about thirty pages or so compared to where the site is at. Going back over things now. I've edited before, on the fly, but mostly at the micro level. Now I'm sweeping through the whole thing, culling where I can. Lightening the tone, smoothing the dialogue, and adding jokes now that I have more time and less pressure. Nothing cuts corners like keeping to a schedule. Have to pull back now and get a better sense of the whole. Tonight I'll be updating half a dozen or so pages, an entire scene, one that I was never happy with; always seemed awkward. Now it's finally going to be closer to what I wanted. I've debated whether or not to update pages. It'd be interesting to see the difference between the original version and the final print version, simply to see how it evolved, as a window into the process. But no. I'm too compulsive. Also lazy so won't update all...
