#me yesterday afternoon 'i bet i can typeset and print the other one today'

[spockandawe]

Sometimes when I get a big project I either vanish entirely from everywhere until I've completely shredded my exciting new toy. And sometimes instead I'm consumed thoughts about media that genuinely have nothing to do with the thing I'm supposed to be focusing on. So it's time for a thread about this! Accountability and all that, I'm on a deadline, and also because there's a few experiments going into this thing, and if it all goes to hell, I want to have the beautiful memories XD

Also, this is the first time I've tried making a book WHILE thinking about enclosures. I think every other one of my boxes had me rummaging through old books looking for something that fit a box idea, and it's interesting to be going in another direction. The materials selection alone is going to be exciting, considering how badly I can agonize for much smaller projects, and the initial two book set is going to be something iterated on and expanded. I probably need to grab a notebook and brainstorm tonight while this all presses. And (you will laugh at me when you see these), the deadline I'm working with is an awkward family trip. And so my overall goal is PORTABILITY. Yes this is going to be hilarious for ~2800 (quarto) pages YES I have some regrets 🤣🤣🤣
