So. iBooks.

    I downloaded iBooks Author the other day and began thinking about making Phantom Limb into the media-rich mess I'd always imagined. Embedded music (of my own) and artwork (not my own, as I can only draw pictures that make my little girl laugh) and typefaces and formatting that I like. Really interesting. Especially when I'm trying to avoid doing something useful, like finishing the story. Then I thought - I wonder if the iBook Store has a policy covering derivative fiction, and I wonder if (since I'd be distributing it for free) I'd get into trouble. Anyway, it's interesting to think about. I do like laying it out in this form, and one can export it as a pdf, so I'll probably do this when I'm done.

    And I'm working on it, but it's slow.

    No surprises there ;-)

    So how are you doing on the next chapter?

    I'm

    crawling. I have so many ideas and so little time. The other thing is that I keep getting ideas about other stories. Hence my next blog post.

    but anyway, iBooks.

    I can't figure out how to embed audio yet. Admittedly haven't given it much time. But anyway. Maybe some other format.
