AUTHOR'S NOTE ON "SOMETIMES, JUST BECAUSE"

Because these stories have all been previously published, I usually do nothing more than clean them up before collecting them. I toss in a few more commas, I remove the double spacing after a period that has so recently been discarded even at the manuscript level driving those of us who learned to type on actual typewriters a bit crazy, and I shift the apostrophes. Then I send it off to my copy-editor who finds everything I missed. And there are always things missed; that's why there are copy-editors.

However, upon reading the digital copy of “Sometimes, Just Because” that I had in my files, I realized that copy-editing wouldn't be enough. The story included paragraphs so tangled that even I had no idea of what I'd meant – and I wrote them. Okay, I wrote them back in 2005, but time spent away from the text shouldn't impact clarity. What's more, I couldn't check to see if my digital copy was an early version with the problems fixed in publication because the only place this story has been published was in the repackaged Stealing Magic from Edge and I don't currently have a copy. I keep giving them away.

That said, this edition of “Sometimes, Just Because” is approximately 500 words and some serious disentangling different than the original. And, she said modestly, it's definitely a better version of the story.
