I got the proof of the Tribulations trade paperback yesterday, and there’s the gazillion little things I want to noodle with on the cover, plus (and I feel very silly about this) I forgot to put chapter ornaments in the layout. It’s a funny thing, right? But the earlier books had little black-and-white portals to indicate breaks within the chapter, and without them—well, for starters, it’s just a bit sad, but also there were a number of places where I actually thought a new chapter was going to start on the next page, and then it didn’t, and that confused me. So I am sprinkling in the little portals anon.

Except that I didn’t really get enough sleep last night, and while I feel like I can and have done certain fixes, others are too hard when I’m tired. So I’m calling it quits for today.
