Never correct a snippet. Really. This was something no more than 25 minutes off a first (very first) draft ... no one has looked at it twice, so there are daily and weekly reread corrections during the initial writing (so 25 or so reads), Sharon's go through with some rewrites, my re-go through after she's done that, the beta readers' go through, the editor's go through, the copy editor's go through, and the proof-copy go through (for two authors and several other editors, writers). As dyslexic, phonetic, and finger-fuddled as I am, if I have to write perfect copy the first time, the book stops here.
Thing the 2
...on the eArc question ... I'm without information. Someone from Baen, or from Baen's bar, will have to answer that -- we often don't know what's coming when until someone on our mailing list tells us.
