Seriously, as in the Republic of Texas Bike Rally (more than 40,000 participants). Currently impossible to drive downtown in a car. Or even an SUV. Leather garment sales on Sixth Street are way up, I'm sure.
Me? I'm holed up at home working on my final revision, which is mostly a chance for me to have one more pass before copyediting. The letter was pretty much praise (my fave part: voice is "dead on"), and a request to look at a couple of reactions, clarify a bit of protagonist psychology, and reconsider the pre-climax pacing. The first two were a matter of fiddling. On the last, I tightened and simplified, perhaps not to "the bone," but suffiicently so as to maintain the upward arc.
