Feel free to mention either the contest or the signing in your own blog if you have readers who might be interested.
As for the minor updatery, I'm working on the revisions. *grin* I have about 130 pages left to go. It's moving a little faster now because the sections that were setup for the action at the end are more or less over. And most of the changes requested by my editor dealt with altering things in the setup--mentioning things earlier than I did in the original post, or adding in additional scenes to help develop or expand the setup, or worldbuilding things more (which is setup really). The chapter I worked on yesterday was almost pure action, the first part where the shit starts hitting the fan, so less to fix. Still some minor tweaks as people mention things that are no longer relavent, and some cutting and general fixing of sentences and stuff that read a little awkward. My "to fix" file is mostly full of crossed off things. Still a bunch of little things to change in these last few pages, but I think there's only one thing left in the mid-level section, and the stuff left in the top-level changes are so general that I can't cross them off until the book is done (they're things I need to keep in mind at all times in case an opportunity to add more comes up).
It feels like I'm coming to the end, which is good. I'd like to get everything done this week, so I can get the revisions to the short story "Mastihooba" done next week before Worldcon.
