I wanted this run through done by the end of the month, And I've given myself the month of May to work out all those other hundreds of things that need fixing (thanks sis). I promised a friend I trust that they'll be able to go through that draft as a "proper" beta reader. To say that it'll have me on tenterhooks would be an understatement on the same level as saying the Atlantic could get you wet.
Still, there's only one way to learn all this, and that's by doing it. Then all I'll need to do is learn how to chop the big chapters up. And learn paragraph spacing. And grammar. Lord, that spectre looming over me with my bad grammar is going to bite me on the derrière like a Doberman chowing down on a tasty snack.
I know it's just anthropomorphising, I really do. And yet at the same time I can't help but to think that the whole subject just takes one look at my face and drool begins to dribble down its literary chops.
In ones' defence, I started listening to the Grammar Girl podcast over a year ago. Please let me have remembered something after all this time.
:edit: Just because it was a personal goal, the end of the first revision was hit pretty much on the last couple of days in April:
