Random ramblings

1. Yet another thing I really appreciate about SS/HG writers: You post CHAPTERS as actual, individual chapters. I've been listening to Snarry occasionally while I work, when the task requires more eyes than brains. WTF! There's a ton of stories with clearly labelled chapter breaks that are posted in ONE SINGLE CHAPTER. Makes it really annoying if you have to stop and come back to it. So, um, THANK YOU, SS/HGers for posting chapters as intended, using the handy dandy 'chapter' feature that archives so cleverly provide.

2. I may be working entirely too much. We shall see. I have trouble turning down projects. Although I did turn down some piano lessons that would have involved a forty-minute round trip. I was rather proud of myself for saying no.

3. My first piano lesson is tomorrow! It should be very interesting and fun (the lack of clever adjectives belies my nerves about the whole thing). I'll be flying by the seat of my pants teaching piano to a 4-year-old who can't read words yet. Should be interesting. I keep reminding myself that the job is to make music fun, and heck... if I can invent running games that make running fun, then music should be a piece of cake.

4. Best scene divider ever, as spied in a Snarry story over the weekend:

5. My darling, darling husband has been hard at work while I've been work, work, working away and has painted our bedroom. It is no longer yellow, my least favorite color in the world. Now I need to get my butt in gear and fix the duvet cover that the dog nibbled. Assuming that the duvet cover goes with the greyish-white paint color. One never knows exactly until the paint is on the wall.

But if you really, really love a story that has been put up as a single long chapter, you can copy it to your hard disc in one fell swoop. Whereas if it is divided into a zillion chapters (and isn't on one of the sites that kluge chapters together for printing) you have to go through copying them one at a time. All 163 chapters of For Someone Special for instance... Either way, you do end up with 'where the hell was I?' syndrome if you have to stop reading the Word version, I admit.

Admittedly, most of my complaint stems from FoxVox not having a pause feature.

I suppose either way of posting has drawbacks. :)
