Not going to lie: making mock-ups like these where I know the text is real, and photos will be, is SUPER fun.pic.twitter.com/Ra4nrwyWBS
First (printed) prototype of my book, with a temporary cover, and no photos – but every single word of the text all there. Already with tons of sticky notes for all the things I noticed that need fixing.pic.twitter.com/UJ0ZF8bBgh
You know what was surprisingly emotional? Seeing a table of contents with page numbers, and then being able to go to that page and just… start reading.
A friend of mine was leafing through it on Friday and said “every time I go to another random page I see something interesting.” ^_^pic.twitter.com/L29jqtPov4 – at Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment
In the meantime, adding a new keyboard recorder to my 20-plus-year-old awful Pascal code just in time for tomorrow’s newsletter: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/shift-happens/ … (I’ve never before written Pascal while having internet a keystroke away to answer any questions I could had.)pic.twitter.com/HBn1Pf25l9

An amazing benefit of being loud about the book writing process is that people volunteer little anecdotes and stories like this delightful one:https://medium.com/@capek/a-propos-of-nothing-i-offer-the-following-which-seems-somehow-relevant-34724ae51b58 …
I am often amazed and often overwhelmed by the range and scope of tasks necessary to write this book, particularly since I’m also aiming to typeset and design it.
Hope you write a Shift Happens post for the typeset and design phase
Perhaps Shift Happens could be its own periodical someday
I mean, the newsletter is kind of becoming its own body of work at this point.
