[challenge entry] Haha, I'm gonna have to get the first pea in to this.

But I will make a new post entry soon.

From the Skeletons challenge. See all 99 entries (closed)

# I've got a fair number of source pics that'll work for this one.
So I should get at least two or three new ones. If you make
one or two we might have one whole page by next week. [/;-D

# I want this to win
I also want you to put out a fucking book. GET TO IT.

# On it.
It's slow going as I'd rather make new toons than do layouts and text shit.

# I'm down with that
I'm currently actually type-setting a book by a famous author - whose name will remain nameless for now, but he's been dead for some time and this is entirely my own project - and fuck me but it's boring as sin. He's actually really good, if you believe the opinion of critics. This bullshit I've just spent hour upon end wading through to even get the preliminary formatting argues against it.

I've found myself building a bunch of bespoke ePub/PDF generation tools and enjoying it a lot more than the typesetting.

Anyway, typeset two pages a day and make three cartoons a day. You'll be done in no time and then the book can take up residence in my toilet, which is a high honour, I assure you.

# I've got over a thousand done already.
About 700 were posted full or as blank+preview here.
I've made a pile of new ones to attend some classics
from those. Introduction, backstory and history of her
and her immediate family is done. And a start in on
some chapters with captions and spoiler/hints. I keep
redoing parts and reselecting. It'd be all waste if I
didn't know its getting tighter and better each go.
You'll likely understand that point in a project.

# God yeah
Both at work and in anything else I'm doing. I'm working up courage to plunge headlong into a major revision of a novel I wrote in 1998, which is currently almost unreadable but which I really want to get into a publishable form - but it'll be months before I'm even at that stage.

Glad to know you're making progress :)

# How much do you charge for a residence in your toilet?

# £500 a night
I don't let just *anyone* take up residence.
