There’s another dead tree today and the blood is on my hands, because I printed out a few copies of the book for copyright purposes. I’m not sure why the copyright office shuns electronic submissions. But I guess that’s what the 30 dollar fee they charge covers.

Being in possesion of the brand new hardcopy leads me to the second problem; ever try to find an envelope big enough to hold hundreds of loose pages? If so, have you tried to seal that envelope after inserting those same pages, Form TX and a check for 30 dollars? Really seal it, now, so it doesn’t rip open.

Yeah, me neither. I’m ready for the emergency room thanks to all the papercuts. Also, my cat refuses to speak to me now because he mistook the envelope for a skateboard and tried to use his 21 pound body to scoot it across the glass top coffee table. Let’s just say, the coffee table won and there are fresh claw marks in my leg.
