I will have at least 10 copies for RisuCon this weekend. I have 10 arriving on Tuesday and the other 40 might be here but might not. BUT I will not be empty handed

Stories By Alex @storiesbyalex.bsky.social · 15d

I need all the good thoughts. Amazon estimate is exactly 1 day too late for the event I am vending at ... but I for my proof several days early so I have hope. I need the 3rd not the 4th.

I will make a nice neat post tomorrow when I am not exhausted, but after fighting with pdf settings and section formatting and redoing the headers and footers 2 million times, I have hit the 'order proof' button on Amazon

Stories By Alex @storiesbyalex.bsky.social · 20d

7pm and 42 pages to go in this formatting, then make sure the headers are right, make the table of contents and the title page and copyright page and I think I will be able to upload :)

I am so tired!
