I proof read two signatures and formatted and printed two more. I have found about 20 minor errors that I didn't catch on the first couple of proof reads. I only need to finish formatting the last half a chapter and put the copyright notice into another small signature at the front. I am finding it easier to proof read the printouts as opposed to trying to do it on the PC.

Signatures.
I proof read the signatures I printed out yesterday at the refurbished Starbucks at Monk's Cross. Replaced the last page and put a little of the next chapter on. Formatted and printed out the third signature. I'll proof read it tomorrow. Caught a couple of small minor errors in the first signature.

TCP and TST
Because my new grandson was taking his time feeding today it gave me a chance to work on the map of the Fanting Fightasy book. I read through the first couple of chapters of TCP on my wife's iPad. In reality there are only five rooms at the beginning of the dungeon. A couple of other rooms are at the end of it that lead into the castle. So I am going to link the beginning to the end with as yet unrealised encounters and rooms!
Printed out the first two signatures of TST but made a page error in the second one. Once corrected I will have 1/3 rd of the book printed out.

Read through
I need to read through The Crying Pennant again so that I can come up with more places/encounters for the Fanting Fightasy book. I was thinking of 40 different places/encounters so that I could make it into a free give-away book to advertise the Arth series. Looked at a proper fighting fantasy book and have seen that there are 400 entries!!!
Got another 5 star review for The Sun Thief!!!!
Another grandson born today!!!!!

Mysteriously...
This is what I've typed in so far today.
"Aww, this is stupid," moaned Sid the dwarf from The Crying Pennant.
"I know," agreed King Arthur, battle chieftain of the Britons, "it's been done before."
"Fighting Fantasy books."
"Earlier, Tunnels and Trolls."
"Earlier than that, 'Choose Your Own Path' adventures. The Author used to read them when he was 11!"
"Come on you two," I admonished them, "get started on this adventure."
So, mysteriously, both Sid and Arthur...
"Hang on Author," interrupted Sid before I could continue, "are we both going to be in this, what did you call it, Fanting Fightasy book?"
"Yes, why not?"
"Well, because won't the reader/player be able to empathise more with one character? You know, you say something like, 'As you walk down the passage an axe falls on your head and you die."
"Don't remind me of one of my first D&D arguments," shook headed I. I thought for a bit, "Well I want you two in it so what do I do?"
"We could be in the party and the reader could join us!" thought Arthur.
"Ok, we'll see how that goes."
So, again, mysteriously, both Sid and Arthur were transported to a green lacquered, metal studded, warped and flea bitten oak door. The reader also appeared there whom I will now describe as you!
"Hello you," greeted Sid the dwarf.
"Er, hello dwarf," you said.
"Sid the dwarf," said Sid, "but don't keep saying 'Sid the dwarf' because that gets a little annoying. Just call me Sid."
"Aww, this is stupid," moaned Sid the dwarf from The Crying Pennant.

Fanting Fightasy
Managed to write 150 words of Sid and Arthur's Steampunk Adventure today. Have also started a Fanting fightasy book with Sid and Arthur and you in it. Did about 300 words of that. It's funny so far :)

Blog a blog blog
I am having to blog on my wife's iPad because my son is on my PC. Reformatted my hard drive yesterday because I was having problems with spyware. Managed to get the sound driver downloaded and installed. Found the document The Metal Man and added one word to it! Yay I wrote one word today!
