Everything I’m reading about the implementation of list- and outline-numbering in Microsoft Word is leading me to believe that there is no practical way to implement a truly automated comic book writing template for that program. I may already have taken the project as far as it can go in Word. One article *on Microsoft’s […]

Starting weight: 215 Previous weight: 205.5 Current weight: 219 (No, that’s not a typo; it’s the fucking prednisone. In one week, I *gained* 13.5 pounds. If my apartment weren’t on the first floor, I’d be jumping out a window right now.)

Very tired, so this will be short… The way to make the Word Comic Book Script Template work is, I think, with a list-numbering scheme. It’s both much simpler and more frustrating than I realized. The setup is a bit crazy, because list number styles in Word are apparently *document*-based rather than *template*-based. They don’t […]

All of Wednesday was consumed with a computer crisis. Solved, finally, I hope. Now it’s nap time, soon to be followed by the ever-popular wake-up-shave-shower-get-dressed-stagger-to-car-drive-to- hospital-get-catheter-shoved-up-groin-time. With luck, everything will go normally (yeah, right) and I’ll be released immediately after the procedure. Just in time for my therapy group. [NOTE: This concludes the “It’s All […]
