Christmas Carol: A Short Story - Part VI

Guess what I did today... C'mon, guess!

Yup, that's right: I played with the font size and margins again. I thought I had 21 pages, but I was wrong. It turns out I have written 27 pages! I feel so much more productive now.

I think I'm done with the fonts and margins. It bothered me that the font looked so tiny before, and the truth is that it is a book intended for young children, so it shouldn't look too dense. It happened when I chose Baskerville. That font is very pretty, but boy is it compact. So I think I'll keep this size, at least until I decide to play with it again.

Anyway, here's my progress. Just yesterday I started Chapter 7. That means that in just about a month I have written six chapters and all of 27 pages of story. Not bad for a World-Class Procrastinating Champion like myself. Not bad at all. Santa Claus would be proud of me. :)

In Chapter 7, Carol discovers the lair of the Ghost Of Christmas Presents and observes him as he behaves at home. That's when she learns that he's not an unhappy and malicious spirit, but actually just someone who likes presents a lot and doesn't have friends to get them from. As in the game, the Ghost is a bit loopy and mischievous, but generally just a good chap. Carol will learn that soon.

Well, that's it for progress right now. Until next time ... see ya'!

If the lighting conditions in your grandchildren's bedroom are poor, you might need to increase the font size even more for you to see what the text says when you read it loud...
