The anticipated process:As of this morning, I have a completed revision outline, meaning I've completed the first four steps. Of course, that fifth step being the actual page-by-page edit plus writing of new scenes, it's going to take some time. It took me longer to get to this point than I'd hoped, but I didn't actually work at it every day. That changes now.
- read through the manuscript
- create outline of current state
- work through world-building and necessary plot expansions
- update revision outline
- hard copy edit (get rid of tics and add description at this stage!)
- type in edits
- have Word read manuscript to me while I follow along to make sure all edits complete

Nice work :) Hope the edits flow as smoothly.
Merrilee -- thanks! Since I'm trying to double the length of the book (It has good bones but needs fleshing out.), it's going to be a bit of work. I'm really looking forward to the end result.
