Oh, my gosh, you guys...

Thanks to everyone for your congrats on my last post. *smishes you all HARD* I'd respond individually, but I'd be here all day and I have work to do. It means a lot that you're all rooting for me.

I've now edited the not!Iron Man to be more consistent with the not!kkbb/im novelthing. Not!Tony's mental monologue is slightly different after not!Pepper's Big Reveal about her...condition, now. And I've added the OC!Doc and the nanotech, with the additional information that the tech works on soft tissue damage and not broken bones, and so when he can't sleep, guess where he goes? Yep, down to the lab to work on bone-knitting nanotech or Megan's little problem.

Now I have to print it out and ship it off. All 76 pages...

Except my header is being...uncooperative. DAMMIT. I miss Wordperfect. Word sucks. Why the hell is it sticking part of it on the NEXT LINE??? I want it right-aligned. This shouldn't be this hard. ARGH.

Nevermind. It's fixed.

But, really. It shouldn't be this hard to jump between word processors. I had to go through it paragraph by paragraph and stick tabs in. But not ALL of them, oh, no. Just some of them. And I'm betting the ones I didn't have to insert are auto-tabs rather than manual tabs because Word sucks that much.

And now I've gone through the not!Iron Man thing...

YET AGAIN.

Because when I added headers, my paragraphs went wonky. AGAIN.

So much hate for Word right now. *beats it*

I'm still sad that I lost out on the "it would be just like him to die in her arms because he loved theatrical gestures" line, but ah well. I'm kind of diggin' the "afraid he won't wake up" scenario too.

I'm going to go through it one final time and search for more wonky paragraphs. And then I shall print out all 76 pages and ship it off to F&SF, tomorrow. I wonder if I should use a box. And where I would get such a thing.

Time to get back on the submitting horse, y'all. Because, seriously, I've got stuff sitting on my hard drive that hasn't gone out since August, and that's bad. I hear Baen's may be opening up for subs again soon. Wonder if I have anything I can dust off for them...

In other news, we bought a new sofa and...sofa...thing (with a center console! Yay for not losing all six of our remotes anymore!) for the family room today. Because the old couch is old and ugly and wearing out, and we found new and shiny ones that were actually comfortable and on sale. This is us, not participating in the recession.

Random TV thoughts...

Re: Tonight's "Fringe"--

The Hubby says that Airline!He!Works!For does not have a Werewolf Policy.

Re: Last night's "Chuck"--

Anyone else expect Dominic Monaghan to start belting out "You All Everybody"?

Just me?

Okay, then.
