Wow. Took a casual glance through what I was sure would be a perfect print proof of the second edition of A RIVER IN TIME and found a few errors!
Nothing egregious, with the exception of one verb/subject number disagreement in a phrase I had stuck in and hadn't really checked over. So I fixed that, and it was enough of an issue that I decided to send the file back for a second proof.
Before I did that, though, I went through the whole book AGAIN, and corrected some minor (really really minor) issues: stuff like single versus double quotations, making sure the apostrophe in front of words like 'tis is the right kind--in the font I'm using, apostrophes and quotes have little tails that go one way or the other, so it has to go the correct way! Exciting things like that.
So now that's done. I also made a change to the very, very end of the book--let's see if anyone spots this when the new edition is out there and being read. It took a bit of doing, but it's kind of a neat addition. And it may prompt more questions than answers!
That's it for now, sorry this is so short, but I expect I'll be posting again tonight after the Downton Abbey Fabric Show this afternoon.
