Another Sunny Day

Today I am having trouble motivating myself to go down in the basement and sand the trim and the stairs, given how lovely the sunshine is. For lunch I sat in the sun and read and ate, sitting among my plants in the livng room, and it was just lovely. I did the same thing yesterday - yesterday I finished Marvel 1602 and today I finally finished Starlight 2.

It's been a long time since I spent the greater part of a day reading fiction. This weekend I've also been editing a couple things as I read them on my laptop. -Which reminds me, I've been wondering, aren't we at the point where the final typsetting of things is done electronically? Is there a reason why the publisher shouldn't return a copyedited version of a book or story in electronic form to the author?

yeah, well they get a copy to edit on paper, and then they get a couple/few copies of the book, which is also on paper.

But I would definitely think they would want a copy of the edited story. Especially for short stories, where there's a fair chance they might get reprinted in some other volume than wherever they were initially printed.
