I got 33, 34, and 35 and I'm now knee-deep in 36. 36 is a very different chapter and it needs to be largely rewritten, so I expect it will take some time.

Great snark (with a lot of truth).

Am I bitchy if I answer "Is there anything she can't do?" with "Write." Because, seriously, page-turners that they are, the prose itself is not something of which I would be proud. And I'm still not buying her Origin myth either...why not just say a radioactive potboiler bit you while you were hanging around your uncle's lab?

Still working on 36 and I'm not especially happy with my effort so far. A bit too much reporting of the facts and not enough of the emotions of the POV character. I need to see if I can cut down a bit on the factual information and add a few lines to express the emotional impact for Mr. POV.

Hi gang, I have a coupla questions for the group.

One: I'd like to put together a photo book with lots of wordy text, where ever I want. I gotta have captions and subheads and room to express myself in prose. Can anyone recommend a publish on demand service for that? All the ones I've tried seem too limiting. All the scrapbook layouts are nice, but I don't really need so much preformatted stuff.

Two: How does a person approach a pile of creative stuff and edit it thoughtfully into a collection? Do you include everything and call it a retrospective, or do you go lean and try for a general representation and a low page count? It might be helpful if I mentioned here that I am talking about all the comics I've ever drawn. I know the ones in ballpoint on lined yellow paper don't reproduce clearly, but I do love 'em so...

Katie Bee!

In reverse order, whichever way you think is best. If you love them so, include them. I have photoshop and might be able to clean up some of the hard to see ones.

Maybe MagCloud? It would be a magazine, but glossy, and all they require to print it is a pdf, so you could lay it out however you like in Word or inDesign and then turn it into a PDF and upload it. I don't think that would work for much more than 100 pages though. Lots of people like Lulu, but if the service you're interested in would take a PDF instead of using one of their templates, that would probably be the best way to do it.

If you just want them "out there" but don't want a lot of expense, you might also consider putting them up on the web. Heck, if you wanted to sell your jewelry, you could also put that on the web, either on Etsy, or on your own website. I'm pretty sure you know someone who would build a website for you (hint, hint).

Still plugging away on 36 and 37, which I need to finish up together I might need to reach back into 36 can make changes. It's going to take awhile to get it done. There are only so many words available, so I need to pick my scenes carefully.

Deena!!! How nice to see your font!

Hmm, my own website? I'm beginning to think I've got enough material, what with the jewelry and comics and soft sculpture and the big green felted dinosaur with bead teeth and an eager expression...

Readers, which is better for content? Way too much? Or spare and sleek?

Miss Katie! I'm sorry about your accident, and glad you're in one piece.

I lean toward less is more. I could put together a spiff site you could use with paypal to sell your bits and bobs.

I'm thinking of more than one project. One would be a nice coffeetable book with photos of my various creations. Another few books would have to be Pictures of the Cats. The comic collection is the third project, and a necklace website the fourth.

Whew, now I'm tired out, just thinking about it all.
