I had just finished editing all the sketches and went on to inserting the text to make sure I left enough space for it (which I'm prone to ignoring). So I opened the word file with the script, and blinked. Because parts of the text looked really different from the one I had printed out. And lo, I have not one, but two versions of the script on my hard drive. *facepalm*

Great was my joy when I checked my email (rather frantically) to find that I'd illustrated the correct version. It's okay, heart, you can beat again.

Now I'll paste in my text and then I must reward myself with some SGA.

Man, I don't even have a proper icon for this... phew.

I know that feeling, I don't like it either.

Happy Halloween Astrid. :)

Hey Brian! That was a proper Halloween scare, indeed. But, oh, the relief when you find out that you don't have accidentally created a few extra days of work...

What a heartstopper! I would have fainted dead away.

It went something like, "oops, this scene is on page 6/7 not 8/9, gotta change that... waitaminute, where is the kitchen scene from page 6/7... where did that scene come from?!... and that one..." *blinks* *stares* *stares* *STARES*

Dude! And those were major revisions! I mean, normally between the first and the final version of a script there're a few differences - a word here, a sentence there. But in this case, a handful of the pages were totally different. Like, different plot. Eek.

But now I can enjoy my free days in the knowledge that I just dodged the bullet of half a week of extra work. Gonna make myself a huge pot of tea now, and then I'll go rollerblading for two hours. Sounds like a plan.

Hope your work is going smoothly!
