I quit trying at 10:00 AM -- 24 hours nonstop was just too much for this old man...
I did get some sleep -- I woke up around 9 PM, after hittting both a bottle and bed at noon-- Some Polish Honey Liquer called Zambouka, basically "Mead on Steroids" at 80 proof... so nine hours of sleep have helped...
I went back in and finally did a reboot of my system at 10 tonight, then started a search again... and the computer spit out about 80% of my finished PDFs, so I only have to redo about fifteen pages. Once that is done and all my pre-press work is done, and I've sent individual pages to each contributor, I'll be ready to start production of the book.
However, there's still a snag in the schedule -- I had intended to rent a high volume color photocopier to produce the pages, but the supplier won't be able to get me my special required high-gloss paper until the end of October, so alas, the book will NOT be available by FaerieCon... (Sigh!)
oh, would that you had known that you wouldn't get the paper till October anyway! Then you could have gotten some sleep. May an even better opportunity open up after October!
DreamdeerHere's to plenty of rest in your future, and a more cooperative computer.
