Proof Reading Again

I'm not sure why, but every time a new edition comes out (in this case the mass paperback of BiB) I have to proofread it all over again. I know, quite a few of you volunteered for this duty and if I'd been more rushed for time I would have taken you up on it. As it is, I'm not finding much wrong, but there are little things that are hard to catch. On the whole, it reads well. Some of the sentences are too complicated or stylized, though. That's something to watch in future.

No word from Baen about Honor's Paradox. In a way that's good as I have to do a lot of thinking about the next novel before I start writing it and about the end of the series in general. At the moment, it looks as if there will be two or three novels after HP. I'm getting quite a list of loose ends that need to be tied up one way or another.

Meanwhile I'm slowly getting somewhat more comfortable with Countess. She either doesn't want to move at all or takes off like a cannonball. Riding her at a fast canter around sharp corners is hair-raising. Thank goodness she doesn't trip often, unlike Pip.

And so it goes.
