Disc...Yep, Frank. That's about the size of it.<br /><br />Discworld is a cool place. I say have another go at it and see what happens. I've barely started the second one and I've already laughed out loud.Leah J.

You're wise to put it aside for a while.<br /><br />I should give Pratchett another go. I tried reading one of them a decade or two ago and just couldn't get into it.

Once these are in the bag I'll leave it to simmer for a few months.<br /><br />Mary, thanks. Fun's a stretch, but it's better than having nothing to edit.Leah J.

I get a whole new perspective on it that way, and it's easier to edit while curled up in bed.<br /><br />Lulu has formatting info for both trade and pocket sizes, and you can order a generic cover. As a private project, it's not considered published and no one else can order it.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-25773118036010328302010-02-23T09:58:52.751-07:002010-02-23T09:58:52.751-07:00I like your two lines.
