The Printout

Because I moved from POV chapters to one central file a bit early (in order to make keeping word count easier, and thus checking against daily goals easier), the book began to grow in ways that ran counter to temporal sequence.
Or, more simply, it was/is a mess.
What I needed was a printout. By this week, I desperately needed a printout. Usually I start doing a printout earlier, but for reasons A – R, that didn’t work for me this time. And printing out 780+ pages takes a) time, b) lots of paper, c) lots of printer cartridge, and d) even more time to punch holes in the sheets so they’ll go in the two big fat 3-ring binders that I use to move chapters around.
