In the “please pardon our dust” department, I’ve discovered that a number of my older annotations pages, which were in a table format carried over when I copied them from my old pre-WordPress website, do not translate well to my new site format, because the headings’ table boxes are only one character wide and very hard to read. Unless I can figure out an easy fix, it looks like I’ll have to manually reformat every annotations page one by one, which could take a while.

I’ll get on that as soon as I can, but I just started a new revision of Arachne’s Legacy, which I’ve realized could use a bit more work before I try shopping it to new publishers. Since I diverged heavily from my outline, and since that outline was written for my own use instead of aimed at prospective editors or agents, I started out just planning to revise the outline as part of a pitch document; but looking at the story in overview that way made me realize there were some weaknesses in the first act and think of ways I could make it stronger. In which case I might as well do a new revision pass or two of the whole book while I’m at it. (It’s quite possible that Danielle, my editor at eSpec Books, would have caught this and pointed it out to me if the book had gone ahead there, but she never got the chance.)

EDIT: I knew I should’ve tried addressing the problem before I posted about it… I have found a quick and easy way to make the table format more legible, by converting the “Classic” formatting to the modern “blocks” formatting, but it’s still less than ideal, making the column with the actual notes too narrow. So I may attempt to rework those later, but for now, I’m just doing the quick fix.
