Aaaah, jeez. I am not off to a great start this morningtoday. It’s a quarter after one and I’ve only just sat down to work. The morning consisted of getting up to go for a walk, drowsing on the couch for 20 minutes, finally going for a slooooow walk, coming home for breakfast and to check email, and then for an hour-long nap and lunch. Which brings me up to now, pretty much. I’m exactly halfway through the manuscript. If I want to have the slightest chance of getting it…
interview with Jason Embury
My colorist, Jason Embury, has an interview up with Pulse Comic Book News. He talks about being a colorist, and there are several pages from “Take A Chance” to admire, too! Check it out! Speaking of Chance, here, finally, is the order form for TAKE A CHANCE #1. It is possible that that file will be updated later today so it already has the magic code number to order written in (eta: lo! it has been updated!), but right now at least if you don’t already have a pull list…
more editing
Muaha. I am encouraged by commenters to continue this play by play editing process. I don’t even know *what* today’s goal is.

I guess I’ll see.
Supreme Court meme & other stuff
As ganked from /Nicholas, As evidenced by Katie Couric, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade. The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historical your lj. (Any decision, as long as it’s not Roe v. Wade.) Loving v. Virginia, in which the Supreme Court ruled there could be no lawful impediment to interracial marriages. This is clearly the same ruling, or the precedent for the ruling, that will eventually be applied to gay marriage in the US, and…
editing stats
I am doing something New & Strange with this revision. Typically when I’m working, I have Word’s display set to 85% of full size, and I have the style set to normal, so there are no particularly noticeable page breaks. I really loathe the print view, where each page is wholly separate. It throws off my mojo. But for this revision, that’s how I’m looking at the manuscript: one page at a time, and at 100% magnification. I actually think it’s making a significant difference. It means I’m looking at…
