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.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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'm feeling a bit fired up, can you tell? Hee)

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).

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
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. .
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!
note to self: squeeing scares the poor UPS man.

That always makes me think of Christopher on the Sopranos. He said "I bought this screenwriting program. I thought it would do a lot of it." Cracked me up.

Does that do something like the Marshall Plan, and have you heard of the Marshall Plan? Greg's using it for the novel he's working on and so far really appreciates the help it's been.

I have heard of the Marshall Plan, I even thought I had the workbook around here someplace. (I have about a jillion books about writing. WD book club is monkey crack...but I'm off the stuff now.)
I believe this does something similar, but I'll have to wait till this evening to install it and get knee deep in the mud...
