Working away

The good news is I can email Magellan's Witch to my editor. The bad news is it has to be in Word format. arghh!! Word is just so awful. I'm going to spend July 31 trying to get the darn thing to work. Stuff that is an absolute breeze in Word Perfect is a nightmare in Word. Oh well. I think it's coming along. I got through this last round of edits without ripping anything to shreds. I have my list of Action Items to go through now. These are issues, details and plot points that feel like they're dangling unresolved or unaddressed. I got through two of those tonight and have 3-4 more to deal with tomorrow. I'm not going to row tomorrow, I'll do the make up class on August 4 instead. I'm hoping to push through an entire read through tomorrow. But only if I get to bed pretty soon.

In other news, um, is there any?

My husband is with you on the Word/Word Perfect comparison. He works as a policy wonk for a think tank and so much of his writing is academic: footnotes, references, bibliographies, etc. He hates Word and still regrets the day his organization switched from WP, which was a breeze in comparison (at least once they got rid of that blank blue screen at the beginning).
 
Hi Susan! Oooh, a policy wonk. That just sounds so cool. Too bad he's cursed with Word. He has my sympathies. Word Perfect X3, the current version, remains an awesome program for writing.
