rolanniHey, we made it to Friday morning. Go, us.
Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the ital issue. My personal opinion is that -- if the purpose of a science fiction story is to suck the reader into a strange, new world, then constantly reminding them, through the use of itals, that they're not in Kansas anymore...is counterproductive. This is, I repeat, my personal opinion; and it is well to recall here that I argue copy edit queries from the side of the characters. Writers have odd brains. At least, this writer does.
In other news -- here's a nice interview with Toni Weisskopf, our long-suffering editor.
Still proofing Scout's Progress. Found a missing line last night, which freaked me, so now I'm being ExtraEXTRA careful.
Everybody having a fun Friday?
