swan_towerStill copy-editing.
It's been two months or so since I looked at the book. Some bits, I find myself seeing with fresh eyes. Oh. Huh. Those two paragraphs really don't need to be there. Or, that dialogue echoes a nursery rhyme you really don't want in your readers' heads. Fix it.
Others? Are familiar beasts I've been battling with since the first time I committed them to the screen. And so I wrestle with them yet again, trying to find that one word that still eludes me -- the right word -- or how to make that paragraph flow the way it needs to.
Mostly I'm fighting with Tiresias. God damn. How many times have I chipped away at this stupid scene, trying to make the punch land right?
Note to self: don't put a crazed seer in a story EVER AGAIN. They are uncooperative bastards.
