I just want to take a second, here, to talk about the "Magic Crayon Moment". Joss Wheedon talks about this when, on Buffy teh Vampire Slayer, he'd written a script that called for a tarot deck that was different from the norm. When teh day of shooting drew near, the prop department came up and handed him the deck and it was sitting there in his hand, plucked from his head and made real as if he'd drawn it with a magical crayon.
I'm looking at layout files and seeing stuff I worked on and, even after a few years and a dozen books, it just gives me lil' tingles to see this. All formatted pretty and art inserted and it ... it's just kind of amazing.
Off topic I know, but I wante dto put that out there.
(Also, a big thanks to Jason for not pulling my arm off and beating me to death with it when I misread my contract and gave him far too many words. That's a whole lot more work for him and a boo boo on my part. Luckily, there were plenty of jokes that could be cut without hurting the overall flow. But still!)
