It's a windy day. My leaping reindeer lawn decoration is half toppled, and given the roaring I heard during the night, I fully expected to find my wreaths had been stripped off the side of the house and tumbled to parts unknown. But they were still attached, as was the one on the garage. The wonders of really solid hooks.
( An agent thing (not my agent) )
( The business, the Long Tail, and other effluvia )
And that's my ramble for the day.

And another thing
Dec. 23rd, 2006 06:55 pmSo I was sent guidelines for digital manuscript preparation, a concept which is new to me. Started digging into it because I thought since I'm rewriting the chapters anyway, I may as well reformat them as well.
I have been typing two spaces between sentences for close to 15 years. Now, I am no longer supposed to do that. Single space only. Thank God for global search/replace is all I can say.
Margins 1.25" all around.
I'm going to have to ask whether chapter files linked into a Master Doc is still ok. I am getting the impression that it really isn't anymore. Looks like one file with page breaks is the way to go. I mean, I can do it. It'll be one hell of a long file, but hey, I have more RAM now, and I'm guessing my publisher uses supercomputers.
No more underlining for italics? Put in the actual italics instead?
Tabs are Death. Lucky I don't use them.
I foresee an email to my editor's assistant confirming some of this. In the meantime, I think I will leave some things be.
No more underlining?
Am I the last person to get the memo?
