Just make sure the pets don’t eat anything with xylitol – even in small quantities, it can shut down their liver. See: http://www.petmd.com/blogs/dailyvet/2009/May/26

They’re typesetting marks.

Also, no plans for a paperback of “Coffee Shop.”

I noticed corner markings and whatnot on earlier manuscripts. Is there an industry standard which only “published” writers are privy to? Curious. PS When are you publishing You’re Not Fooling Anyone When You Take Your Laptop to a Coffee Shop: Scalzi on Writing in paperback. Man, I’d love to be able to order this book in paperback format.

I also am both impressed and worried about the mallet. Ah, of course. It’s a Windows computer and so loving correction is frequently necessary…

For writing music, I prefer movie soundtracks — Jerry Goldsmith is great, also Thomas Newman and, lately, Michael Giacchino.

I love seeing workspaces. :]
