Playing hooky while I should be working

pbrayWriting retreat going well-- I accomplished much this morning, until I found that there was wireless internet :-)
One of the other authors also brought her copyedits, so we are commiserating together. I've made a complete first pass through the manuscript and am overall extremely happy. The copyedits were light and the author queries will be fairly easy to handle.
I believe I get special bonus points for misspelling the very first word on the very first page. Though in my defense, that word was Acknowledgments, which I spelled as Acknowledgements, and that page was hastily added to the bundle right before I mailed it.
In other writing news, yesterday's mail brought the royalty check for the The Sword of Change series. DEVLIN'S LUCK was released five years ago this month. I'm humbled by the fact that it's still in print, still generating cash.
It's a nice reminder that I do know how to write, as I prepare to plunge back into the second pass of the copyedits.
