The major editorial note in my latest work is "you sure have people nodding a lot."
Yes, I do, he said, nodding.
(The extraneous nods are being taken out. But they will still be implied, I assure you.)

Also, stuff like this is why it's good to have editors. They're reading the manuscript for the first time so every little tic and textual inconsistency your brain has longed paved over stands out for them. Some they can fix for you; others they need you to fix. Useful.
Responded to my edit notes for Dispatcher 3 and sent the manuscript back. It's now roughly 800 words shorter, a smidgen more clear, and with quite a bit less nodding.
ALSO, in case you're wondering, Dispatcher 3 is pretty good. The plot is a bit twistier than in the first two. There's action, humor, dastardly villains and, of course, math.
