The proofs for Shadow Queen arrived a couple of days ago. While it's still an unbound slab of A4 sheaves of paper, it now has purty fonts and layout. In other words, this thing is beginning to look suspiciously like one of those critters you find on the shelves in bookstores.
I'm so new at all of this that I had to ask my editor what I was supposed to be doing this time with the stack of pretty paper. Looking for typos and stupidities I introduced while attempting to fix previous stupidities, it turns out. Which is actually pretty good timing, because reading through the first book now will help me notice inconsistencies as I attempt to conjure up a coherent gamma draft of the sequel. Or that's the plan. No plan survives first contact, though.
Also: I am wearing my toe socks today. Toe socks are made of awesome.

Oooh! Proofs are so pretty!
They are pretty, aren't they? It's strange to read through my story set in proper type, instead of invisible Courier!
Woot for proofs and toe socks. The proofs are prettier, the toe socks are warmer :}
LOL. I am going to forgive the slight to my oh-so-pretty toe socks because the proofs really are prettier. Just this once 😉
Very exciting!
Toe socks scare me.
*gasps* How is such a thing possible? Toe socks keep your toes cosyandtoasty warm! Toe socks are your friend!
Hooray for a big slab of A4 paper that slightly resembles a book!
…and toe socks freak me out too.
Toe socks don't make sense! For toes to be warm they need to snuggle and work together to warm the air of one sock, not be all alone in toe pockets.
Woo! The book's getting all growed up!
I am astounded and astonished by the number of people who do not know the made of win that is the toe sock!
The proofs are pretty, but I gotta be honest…
The toe socks kind of creep me out. They're like little ghost-toes, or something like that.
Kevin, not you too! Oh my poor little much-maligned toe socks! 😉
