Couldn't resist...Now that I know what I'm doing, setting this up didn't take *all* that long.
Formatting this smoll like my William Sleator books, 4.38"x7". Hopefully it'll turn out as cool-looking as his books.

That EB Garamond is SO HOT RIGHT NOW!!

I don't think the cream-colored paper is too yellow at all. I think it's quite decent, in fact!
Yays:
+ It printed well, is made of sturdier materials than I expected, and has really smooth paper feel.
Nays:
-The orange of Gingersnap Cat himself turned out a little angrier, so I'm going to resubmit the color with him desaturated a little.
- I didn't make the gutter margin wide enough, so the text is

Yesterday I spent some time following a step-by-step Scribus tutorial ( https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Get_Started_With_Scribus:6 ) and wow, I haven't even finished it and I already feel more confident with the program!
Sigh, I guess I should scan/upload stuff now.

homword fellow tooters (That *is* what we call each other, right?)
My print formatter just sent me the print file for the first chunk of my book
I mean, I knew what it was going to look like because we worked on the design months ago
but to have MY OWN STONKIN WORDS STARING BACK AT ME in such a purdy format is kinda mind-blowing
and kinda has me screaming internally
will anybody ever want to read my book?
i hope so
