Editing, Oh My

I'm determined to finally get my Pros novel, Exile, posted by this weekend. But because I am clearly far too picky/insane, I'm giving it one last read through. 63,000 words down. 19,000 to go.

And as many times as I've gone through it, I'm still finding the odd thing to tweak.

::sigh::

I do try to impose some sort of a cut off on myself, because you can tweak forever. (The Sweetie calls me The Tweaker, which he of course sings to The Who's The Seeker.) But because I had to do major quality control on the formatting of this one--I had to convert it from a double-columned file with fancy wingdings for section breaks--I figured I might as well give it one last read through at the same time. At least most of the tweaks are really minor stylistic things.
