My book proofs are in! It is exciting to see the words all rejigged and looking rather smart in their new typeface. They seem to me to have been raw recruits when I sent them off to the publishers. A good sergeant major might spot a little potential, but really they had to be orgaaised at the typesetter's boot camp.
Now they seem to be marching towards their passing out parade: neatly organised in ranks of orderly paragraphs.
In celebration I allowed myself a trip to the stationery shop. Normally I am not allowed to go there on account of my problem. It's under control now. Really it is. I can control it. I can take or leave ringbinders. I might have the odd propelling pencil now and again, but I never use the hard stuff any more. My days of multicoloured highlighter packs and sheafs of pristine A4 are over.
One fine tipped red pen won't push me over the edge again. Will it?
