These two extremes I found the most exciting parts of writing so far, fun moments among hours that sometimes don’t feel like fun at all…
…one is assembling a puzzle (book) made of puzzles (chapters) made of puzzles (sections) – while allowing the pieces to shape the whole…
…and another one is, once in a while, writing a sentence that feels like it belongs in a book. And then realizing *I* wrote it.
Like this one sentence, which perhaps makes little sense without context, but you have no idea how proud I am of these nine words.pic.twitter.com/oiNjqw2jL5
The weirdest four books I encountered while researching my book.pic.twitter.com/3gWnaOGJRv
I typeset and printed my book proposal as *an actual book*, and this was so much fun.pic.twitter.com/ArbQFl8UXm
Even though I still have a lot to write, it’s incredibly rewarding to see it becoming real in this way. (Footnotes! Illustrations!)pic.twitter.com/NFoXZEYG9r
I even cut my own font (based on one of @djrrb’s excellent fonts) to depict the keys.pic.twitter.com/f2L3CTzml7
Also, recreated this old style of showing keys in Sketch.pic.twitter.com/KePS8kbdun
Printing one copy of a book is not so hard, and not really expensive, either. (I explored it last year here: https://medium.com/@mwichary/my-experiences-printing-a-small-batch-of-books-c04141b63dfe?source=linkShare-b55535a4ac78-1494626685 ….)
Please keep your fingers crossed for the rest! (And mega thanks to @katelaurielee for her tremendous help in all this.)
Here are some screenshots of me working on the “key font,” which is so much fun, even though I am basically just adding a rounded border.pic.twitter.com/YNt0tJyp42
