...back from the salt mines...

Gruelling day at work. I was told, on arriving, that I'd be learning how to administer over-the-phone placement tests -- and then doing them all day. Which is what I did. The coffee machine and the copy machine broke down, and I need to make about 100 or so photocopies ASAP tomorrow morning.

Other than that, I'm reading sonnets and editing my novel. I may have that novel 10% on its third and hopefully final edit tonight.

It's going very slowly because I'm not letting myself leave any one paragraph until I'm absolutely satisfied with it.

Meanwhile, I'm doing other writing on top of the editing. Just because I need to write creatively each day and editing doesn't cut it. It's become as much of a need as sleep and oxygen.

You've made pretty fast progress on the editing - I'm impressed. Do you have any publishers in mind once you're done?

I never got far enough in my last novel to think about it. But I'm getting close to that point in my current effort.

I've been thinking over the names of publishers who've published work I like. But to be honest, this part of the game is completely new to me. I don't know where to begin, or how to start.

Placement tests in....?

English. I work in the English department of a language school, mostly doing administration. Sometimes I do placement tests, though, because they're often short-staffed.
