Well, he'll learn eventually, or he'll start wondering why his stuff keeps coming back with steely polite requests for "proper submission format".

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Ooh, hey, Deb, I have a completely-non-writing-related question for you. If I wanted to remove the choke from an uncooked artichoke, what implement would be best to do that with?

Katie, weirdly enough? I used to use a grapefruit spoon (one of those spoons with the slightly serrated tip) to do the edges, and then a plain old tablespoon to dig it out. .

mmm, artichokes. And I am the worst typist that ever touched a keyboard...I'll need some help if...or that should be when...I produce anything submittable.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Yes, it should be "when". And I'm sure we can find some help when that time comes.

Well, I have submitted things by e-mail and had them appear in websites, but paper publishing is a different beast.

Nonetheless, it's a beast we gonna tame.

I like Astarte fiery. She's cute that way.
Erika, I'm sure we'll all be fighting over getting to make your manuscript pretty, just so we can say we got to read it first.
I don't know if I can write in courier, it bothers my eyes, but I may try, just so I know where I'm at without doing the word count button obsessively (though I'm not sure that will help much).

Excellent. Thank you. I'd tried with just a regular tablespoon, and decided that was Not Worth The Effort.

Well, I'm having problems organizing the story-- and I decided to bite the wallet and order Storyview--a software others have mentioned as being helpful in this regard.
It came this morning, and I almost did as well. Gonna do some ritin' tonight!
