And so ...

I hate it when software insists on updating itself when I'm in the middle of a project. Convenient? No.

I also despise APPLE for their sneak attack Safari-dumping. No Macs here, no IPhones, no silly little music boxettes, OK? My ears are clear. Safari is *not* what I want. I have Firefox 3 beta 5 running, I have the newest Opera running. Take a hike, Safari!

So, that said, I did manage to finally get the Saltation chapter up today, about an hour late. Even if it isn't as clean as it ought to be. Some drafts are like that.

Chess tonight. Maybe I'll get to try out my new digital clock. I kinda dislike digital clocks, which are hardly as readable as analog for someone who has been playing chess with *real* clocks for 43 years, but I'll need to have some experience with them if I want to TD these days. Progress.

Soon we'll have more info for you about the Write-a-thon for Clarion West. Wheee....

We see that Sony's online e-book store admits we exist:

A cute thing is to try searching on Steve Miller ...
if you find that page with a photo of a guy with no beard? That ain't me.

Hokay, away we go!

Um, no, that part's certain. A blow by blow who struck John multi-viewpoint summation right THERE is not in the works; if a reread tells us otherwise -- or an editor down the road -- we might do something. For us, the writers, doing this now in this draft would slow the pacing for us, as we're writing. It may be that the transition itself needs an extra sentence, another visual cue, a different audible intro, but that, too will depend on a long slow reread where we get to do the balance between senses and balance between intro-tense. For the moment, this is the draft we have.

In general, these kinds of things are discussed in Theo's own community -- http://community.livejournal.com/theo_waitley/

Well, i wasn't thinking it necessarily needed a blowbyblow, just that it needs *something* - if only a line of asterisks - to indicate something along the lines of "the curtain is lowered for sixty minutes to denote the passage of one hour".

Coulda been one -- I had to redo the posting at the very last minute. Asterisks we use, usually, for change of scene location or change of viewpoint character ...
