Rick has been laughing himself silly reading Eats, Shoots and Leaves.
Dive Into Mark has a wonderful rant about seeing puncutation in a whole new light after reading the book.
Sounds Like Weird

My submissions tracker got rather crufty and I spent a couple of hours spiffing it up to make it easier for me to see what was out, what needed to get sent out (or revised), and what needed work. In other words, a ToDo list of sorts. When I’m done with it all, the next step is to incorporate some of it into my blog.

My printers have always had names.
The big Lexmark Optra M412 (my only laser printer) is lexx.
The smaller Lexmark X83 all-in-one is luthor.
The huge HP-9300 tabloid printer is brutus.
I have to admit that I am sorely tempted to call my Canon i80 pachelbel. It’s such a small printer, it seems too long a name. Yet nothing else has quite spoken.

I’ve been wanting to submit something to the CSS Zen Garden for some time now. I just came up with a spiff series of ideas. Go, me!

I still think I’m missing that which seemed blaringly obvious the other night, but, well, it’s 2659 words and that’s as long as it’s going to be for a while.
I’d just rather not have a Doh! moment about it after I send the mss. off.

Trying to finish chapter 3, but I can’t for the life of me remember what the logic flaw was. Feh.
15 June 2004
Went out to Denny’s to get a writing spell done and got Chapter 3 up to 2015 words. I realized that in the prior sketch (I can’t even really call it a draft), this chapter had a logic hole so large that I could have flown an aircraft carrier through it. Given, of course, that aircraft carriers could fly. 🙂
