anthimeriaWisCon starts in two days! Yay! I'm excited, and I had a great time reading my fellow novelist's work, so I have high hopes for the workshop.
In other news, The Novel is about ready to start shipping to agents (and let me tell you how happy I am that most of them have electronic querying now). Proper manuscript format for spec-fic is courier (or courier new) font--since I write and do all my drafting in Times New Roman, I had to change that (just about everything else about standard manuscript format I write into the document as I draft). So, tonight I hit select all and changed The Novel's font from TNR to Courier New.
Changing the font added one hundred and seven pages. A hundred and seven pages! Because I changed the font!
Let me reiterate how glad I am that I probably won't have to physically print or ship this thing, because it's intimidating. And it's only 90k words long! How many pages is a 120k-word manuscript? I shudder to think.
