Today I got my edit letter for The Bone Palace! My editor even says nice things about it, like "intricate and more involved." I'm glad to know the extra seventeen thousand words in this one weren't just fluff and adverbs.
It might be the shortest list of suggested changes ever. I've had editors suggest more for short stories. This is both heartening and terrifying. Maybe I wrote a decent book, or maybe he sent me the wrong file, and the real one is three times longer. :P
Tomorrow I'll start revisions. Revisions warrant Chartreuse, but Chartreuse doesn't help me toward my mermaid. The world is cruel.
