Words I've Always Wanted to Type

"I'm proofing the galleys now."Galleys are the just-as-it-will-appear proof of a novel or story. Friday, I received the galleys for "Til Death", the Star Trek: The Next Generation story Bob Ingersoll and I wrote for the forthcoming short story collection (available for purchase at the sidebar to the right). It's been a trip writing a prose story, and I certainly hope it's not my last such trip. Regardless, I'm enjoying the whole journey, including the proofing process. Incidentally, yes, there's a change or two, but very minor. It's amazing what little things can slip through so many people and proofs...which is why I guess we proof them in these stages. I'm proud of the story, and hope you enjoy it too. I'm looking forward to October.
