ksmithCould get snow tomorrow. First predictions were 6-8" for my area. Now it's down to 3-5". Not enough to make me stay home. Will be enough to compel me to spend part of my evening shoveling the drive. I spent part of today divesting said drive of the 3" of powder we got overnight. Sick of shoveling the damned drive. Sick of Kuro the Forester looking like a bar snack. Spring, please?
To give my brain a rest, and because I'd have to do it anyway, I spent part of the afternoon pulling all the ENDGAME chapters into One Big File, as per the new guidelines. I still need to add wordage, but the current specs vs old specs are:
New: 123,899 words
Old: 152,119 words
New: 639 pages
Old: 752 pages
No. of pages is deceptive. My old margins were set at 1" top and bottom, 1.25" right and left. The guidelines ask for 1.25" all around. When I initially formatted the new ms at 1" all around, I wound up with about 570 pages. Those quarter-inches make a difference.
