The Red Pen is Laid Down!

Much like laying down a gauntlet, I have finally laid down my dreaded red pen!  I've completed editing and marking up my first draft...all 260 pages of it...sheesh!  Now, it's onto the next phase...going back to Page One and typing in all the corrections & changes.  Such a daunting task...but then again, I never thought I'd get through slashing with my red pen...so I'm going back in, folks!
