The only publishing I've done doesn't require any of that type of editing on my end. I'm sure once I get to that stage I'll hate my people too, just like Rhonda. I'll be more than happy for them to go away to college without any supervision from me.<BR/><BR/>The numbers running along the side were the one thing that struck me about galleys. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing (coming from one of the people who nagged Instigator about sharing...)<BR/><BR/>AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-36833558919471769512008-06-24T10:04:00.000-05:002008-06-24T10:04:00.000-05:00I'm a reader only, but I love to hear about the wh...I'm a reader only, but I love to hear about the whole writing process.

By the time I've written the book, revised the book, looked at the edit, and THEN galleys arrive, I am so sick of the book and its people that I would quite happily kill them off in a fiery crash. Not exactly a HEA, eh? ;-)<BR/><BR/>But alss, they are a necessary evil. Like PC, I don't want anyone emailing me with mistakes, so I always sit down with a notepad, a pen and a glass of Diet Mt.

Not to mention the rubies, diamonds and emeralds that shot up into the sky and rained down around me in a pile of sparkling wealth. :-)<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm not really sure why I didn't mention all the steps of the process. Considering how hard it is for me to come up with a blog topics sometimes you'd think I'd have jumped at the chance. Maybe because I just didn't think it was very entertaining. For me it was work - work I was looking forward to doing but work none-the-less. <BR/><BR/>I'll be honest and say that copy edits and galleys...not my favorite part of the process. :-) Creating a new story, new people, new problems for them to deal with is what I enjoy most.<BR/><BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.com
