I rationalized my behavior with the notion that the arc had sex in it so it was part and parcel of the workshop’s theme. Occasionally I would gaze glassy-eyed at the power point, which had identical information to the handouts. This involved casually sneaking peeks at the open book while pretending to take notes and study the handouts. Since I had to attend a work-related counseling conference, I elected to take one of the arcs with me so I could continue proofing while I was away.ĭuring a workshop on sexual addiction - and really, who thought that would be kinda boring? - I was reading the arc in stealth mode. I received the advance reader copies of KISSING COMFORT simultaneous to getting one last chance to find errors with an e-copy of the manuscript. So many people are involved: an editor, an assistant, a copy editor, the publisher, the art department, an agent, and assorted others who have specific jobs I don’t necessarily understand but accept as critical to the finished product.Īnd sometimes, in spite of all those eyes on the prize, what is really required to spot an OMG! in the making is a friend with myopic vision and a mind that lolls happily in the gutter. Even after all these years of writing, the process of shepherding a manuscript from submission to bookshelf (and now, e-reader) is still something of a mystery to me.
