And off to the editor...

julesjonesDid requested edits on the story for Clean Sheets on Friday and sent them back, then approved final version yesterday. Expected publication date is 23 August.
After that I ran through the shapeshifter story (which now has the working title Dolphin Dreams, although I'm open to suggestions) and did a tidy up -- mostly stuff like giving names to the characters called [x], checking that various things were consistent, and doing some very minor copy-editing. I also fleshed out the final chapter a bit, as that was the one I wrote on Monday when I was too sick to go to the dentist, and it was still a bit outlinish in feel. That added another 100o words or so, which means the final word count on this draft is 102,000 words. When I read it through I found that it was a lot less porny than I'd thought, though this does not mean it's short on sex.
Normally I'd get it beta-read and do some revision at this point, but I'm about to be away from home for a while. I asked Ye Editor, and she wants to see the first draft now rather than waiting until whenever I manage to get a revised version done. Thus it came to pass that I emailed her the rtf this afternoon. I'm not sure whether I should put out a call for beta-readers anyway. Will think about it this evening.
