Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell

TGIF

Looks like we made it. Well, another eight hours will tell the tale. What’re eight hours anyway?  We did forty-eight before today, so this will be a snap. (Unless you are hanging by a frayed rope over the Grand Canyon)

Interesting week. I had to get another proof for My GRL. It seemed when I went to print stage there was a setting which I had not double checked. It was in the style set up under “normal.” For some reason, the default .o5 indent reestablished itself even though aI had set it a zero. Well, this is all too boring so let me say that when the proof arrived, I was stunned. I had to go back and redo the setup. I didn’t want to take a chance again, so I created a new document. Long story short I’m waiting for the new proof. If it is still messed up I will go ahead and launch the kindle version and follow with the paper edition since the turn around time is too long to make the March 1 date.

I’m telling you all this so that you will not even think of launching a paper edition without getting a proof copy first. This would have been a major embarrassment, and at this stage of life, I can’t afford much more.

Today’s JohnKu talks about checking your work. I hope you have a great weekend.

Why then the short rope?

  1. What a headache…but you figured it out and are doing it. Bravo for that. “Why the short rope?” Good question…and very clever JohnKu. 🙂

  13. Ah, John, I do empathize. Having just completed several intensive edits of my own — and finding more formatting issues than you could shake a stick at — I know how hard it is. Here’s to a wonderful weekend!
