I was a little light on sleep, so I thought that today, instead of doing the Part 2 layout, I’d set up the rest of the large-print edition in LibreOffice so that it would all be set to be laid out.

Aaaaand in the process, I realized that the Strike Thru coding in LibreOffice didn’t translate to Scribus. Furthermore, it never translated, meaning that the trade paperback doesn’t have things struck out in it, either!

I was a bit aiiigh! about it all, but then I realized that fixing that wouldn’t change the layout any. So as long as Proof #3 comes back OK, I think I can risk it and not order Proof #4. Since I was updating the interior anyway, I took the time to really look through the interior Proof #3 and found a couple of (very minor) things there to fix as well.

If you’re following along at home:

The Dislocated World trade paperback Proof #3 is coming to me soon, and hopefully once it gets here, I’ll be able approve the edition for sale

The Dislocated World large-print paperback is about halfway through production

Trials is still unwritten aside from part of the first draft. I thought I could switch off between writing and doing layouts, but I never seem to be able to do more than one thing at a time….
