Presently, I'm working on revisions of novel #6 (Buckling down so I can get it off to the editor extraordinaire and move on to finishing Novel #7).
This is what that looks like:
My edits are very colorful, but they have a purpose! Each color tells me something different, so at a glance, I know that page "x" has two instances of repetition to deal with, one sentence that needs to be rewritten in its entirety, a character description that needs to be expanded upon and a transition that needs restructuring.
This is actually the 3rd edit I've done to this ms.
First edit was a quick go through.
In the second edit, I cut the entire ending (a whole 45k words).
And this, the third edit, is making the front end mesh with what I plan to make the new ending...
so it is far from my last edit (Highlighter salesmen can rejoice).
Anyone else in revisions right now? Anyone else feel as neurotic as I do when I talk about this sort of thing?

Sorry about the required word verification. I've had a ridiculous influx of spam comments lately, so to keep the spammers at bay, I've had to put this measure in place. Sorry again!
