Girl vs. page proofs
So far I've gone through 17 chapters of TDC, with three more and the epilogue to go. I've encountered: 3 type-setting errors, a homophone that nobody caught, 3 STETs that didn't get STETed (2 of which I'm correcting back, because I didn't STET them the first time for my health, dammit), and two cases of word rep that were more cunning than their brethren and have now survived to breed a hardier, sneakier strain.
I am still very fond of this book, except for the word rep bits. I wish I could have layered in more backstory and worldbuilding and coolshit, but hopefully I will learn to do that gracefully before the end of Bone Palace.
When I'm done with the proofs, I will ask my fancy editor when I can put up the first few chapters, so that readers can promptly find more word rep that it will be too late to fix.
