The compare-write helped maintain my sanity. I’ll send them in multiple e-mails to NY: the file-size is in megs, multiple, because it’s 241 images.<\/p>\n
What is not in dispute is in black type. Where it is disputed, what I wrote is in struck-out blue, what she wrote is in red, and what she wrote that I don’t approve is circled (most); and what I do approve is in yellow. Most every page of 241 has about 8 circles and maybe one yellow blotch. Not to mention the stupid compare-write program, otherwise excellent, strikes out in blue and renders in red letters ANY hyphenated word. It’s a real nest of snakes.<\/p>\n
I have told Betsy I am going to send her also a) a completely clean file b) a completely clean file with the acceptable changes already inserted. There exists a massive distrust between editors and writers about control of that input process: but as I told Betsy, when I have said I am GOING to put in changes she knows I routinely don’t like (gray for grey, etc) I will do it by the style sheet, and if there were any instance I wasn’t going to do it, I would tell her, specifically. We’ve worked together since the ’70’s, so she knows I’ll do as I say. My editor doesn’t have that length of experience, and so I imagine they’ll talk about it, and I hope they’ll just use what I send rather than trying to input it: the potential for mistakes is huge if you don’t know your way through that manuscript, and I do.<\/p>\n
So…….nearly done. What a week!<\/p>\n
