Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Pub at the End of the Universe

Heh, of course. I want something that can work for more than just sci-fi, though, which is why I like "another world."

A Transgalactic Theater, Hurrah!

This sounds like it's supposed to be an anagram of something.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is taken, but perhaps a permutation?

Beta reader has read Cog version 4, all changes have been made, now it's just the last editing run before getting it back to my agent. I'm using my new Kindle Paperwhite for that.

Because books.

Wait, using the Paperwhite for what? Not editing?

Also, go Gud!

For reading and making notes. Not the actual editing. I think I'm better catching things on it than on the laptop screen.

Interesting!

I was always a lousy proofreader, because it once it looks like the book page, I don't see the errors as easily.

Writers could learn a lot from that. That said, having done that hundreds of times, it's not a lot of fun. Especially when something is close, but just not close enough.

That's interesting. Looks like you've got to really hook her in the first few pages. Which makes sense, but all great books aren't like that. Well, maybe they are.
