Even Things That Go Bump in the Night Need a Place to Unwind

Here is a summary of the cycle:

• Overall a 53% drop in modifications when compared to revision five;
• 431 modifications for the entire work. The first time revisions are under three digits;
• 26 modifications per chapter;
• The Virgin Goddess of the Hunt had the most substantial drop at 69%; and
• Ethereal Nights had a 24% drop in changes.

The revision cycle has been greatly accelerated.  Here are some of the reasons why:

• It takes far less time to run through the material;
• There are far fewer errors to find with an average of 172 words between corrections; and
• Changes implemented are minor in scope.

I expect to keep pushing through these revisions until the total amount of corrections drop well below 25 for the manuscript.  If my current trends hold, I expect there are at 4-5 revisions left.
