I just received the copy-edits for the GCS manuscript.
::flails a bit::
The letter from the copy editor was very nice, and essentially said "Don't freak out! It looks like a lot, but it's mostly just tiny changes." (I, being a professional editor-type at my day job, do understand that Word's "track changes" option flags Every. Single. Change. Which can look really overwhelming, but isn't meant to.)
COPY EDIT REVIEW TIME OHMYGOD. I KNOW I HAVE NO REASON TO FREAK OUT BUT THAT IS STILL MY INSTINCTUAL REACTION.
...
...
Right. More tea, and then I'll do more than glance at them.
