Finished up the rewrite of "The Hearts of Men" today and employed my new editing technique, and found it very useful for finding typos and making final changes, so I think I'll add that to my checklist of stuff to do prior to submittal. I'm a little too high-strung right now to work on anything so I think I'll treat myself to some Age of Empires 2 for the rest of the day.

And big congrats to [info]aliettedb, who just sold a story to Realms of Fantasy!

Interesting editing technique, I'll have to try it someday (I'm saving it from something big and unwieldy, should be more fun :) )

Thanks for the plug :)

It really helps me to look at it out of manuscript format because I think I spend so much time seeing it in that form that my brain tends to go into auto pilot when reading. It knows what's supposed to be there and so supplies it even when it's not. The new method wasn't foolproof though. I still missed 3 typos, but that's a marked improvement for me. I'm going to use the new method on my other rewrite tomorrow, see if I can find anything new in they typo department.
