Really very slow download and has been for the last few podcasts.

Congrats on the novel sale! I know how terribly difficult and disheartening it can be to shop one around.

PLEASE PLEASE don’t apologize for promoting your own work. You deserve to be proud of yourself - hell, I’M proud of you and I’m new to ISBW (which I love, BTW - keep up the good work!)

Re: formatting in Scrivener
I’m pretty sure the idea is that you don’t worry about the fonts and line spacing while composing the document.
You use the “Compile Manuscript” feature which lets you set the line-spacing, font, scene break character, header, etc.
This way you can export a courier double spaced for submission, export formatted for POD, etc. all without changing any of your documents.
Hope that’s helpful!

Mur, Thank you. I actually cried when responding to my email you said that you all support me. It means alot to me. And just a quick update, my new girlfriend supports my writing, a lot. We were brainstorming until 1 am last night. She really is one of the greatest women I’ve met in my life.
Thank you Mur. Thank you everyone.
