Just when I am wrapping up the last few paragraphs and plan to do an edit sweep, I can't find two books that I wanted to use.
I have somehow misplaced or loaned out my copy of Five Fast Steps to Better Writing by Barbara Florio Graham. Time to do an extreme search and recover in the overflowing bookcases.
Within less than a day of having Sigrid Macdonald's "Be Your Own Editor - A Writer's Guide to Perfect Prose" in my hot little hands, I left it at someone's house after a meeting today. Arg! Luckily, when I mentioned my problem to the author of the BYOE, she sent me a PDF copy for my use.
It's an adjustment for me to use an electronic book as reference. At least they're much easier to search for keywords!
