Ankles Deep in Editing.
I am loving this next editing step. (I was right: the 4th reader hadn't finished, but she gave me a couple general notes about the part she read.) First, in Scrivener, I pulled out all the scenes that had significant comments from my readers. That dropped my word count from 57,000+ to around 23,000. (I'm thinking of doing major re-writes during Nanowrimo, so need to reduce the word count.) Now, I'm going through the remaining scenes, cleaning up minor grammatical stuff, and using the "Notes" function to make suggestions to myself for later. My intention is to put notes into all of these remaining scenes. Since it's flowing pretty well, that should take about a week. After that, I'll do the same with the scenes I purged into a separate folder down in the "research" tab on Scrivener. But for those, I hope to clear out whole paragraphs of text as I go. I feel like I'm back on track. It took a while to compile the notes from my readers.
