Kind of an ugh day—the pollen count is…where it is. I’m partially through Part 2, which is slow going because 1. Part 2 is HUGE, and 2. there are definitely a lot more errors in it. The good news is that transferring things from a trade paperback index to a large-print index is definitely a really good way to proofread—I’m catching a lot of typos, or places where the trade paperback index is off by a page. The bad news is that of course finding and fixing those errors takes a lot of time.

Then on top of everything, the copy editor contacted me to tell me he couldn’t find the Tribulations layout. Turns out that I had deleted the PDF, so I had to convert the chapters and put them together again. That also might be a good thing in the long run, since the way I had done the PDF before made it harder to work with. (I honestly don’t really understand the different flavors of PDFs, I’ve just realized that if you want to do this with a PDF, you should make it this was in Scribus, but if you want to do that, you should make it that way.)
