Hello, thanks for introducing yourself. I didn't think my post would start a thread on vomit, but oh well. There IS still vomit in book 2, just not as much. It became a running joke among my friends.
Hmm . . . how do I handle revisions? I basically organize the proposed revisions, with notes about what I think might work as fixes, and then sit down with page one and work through the book front to back. That way if I make a change I can supposedly catch all the subsequent changes it requires after that. That's the theory anyway. I actually enjoy revisions to some extent, although there's the fear there that this is it, my last chance to make significant changes to the book. Once the revisions are in, only minor changes can be made. Plus, anything that you say is this point becomes law for book 3, so you can't fudge it or change it after this. Your stuck with it. A little fear involved there as well.
I'll try to update LJ as I work on where I am and what problems have arisen in the process. I've already got a tentative schedule worked out with my editor: I'll send whatever I have done (hopefully half of the book) a week before Norwescon so she can see them there. If we want the November release, the revisions will have to be done by mid-May. So the schedule is going to be tight.
