Note to self: When the assignment calls for 5 pages, bloody well check whether that's double- or single-spaced first.

ETA2: Listen to 30-second (ish) horror stories. Neil's is wonderful, and quintesentially Neil-ish. (And many details are autobiographical, which is neat.) "The Visitor" also freaked me out a bit, after pondering over it. And the one about the finger is awesome.
Or read Chapter 3 of the forthcoming Odd and the Frost Giants, by Neil Gaiman.
Or check out what a glorious autumn day Neil's enjoying, where even the tree that "catches and strangles any living creatures that get close enough, [...] it looks practically normal on a day like today." Plus, you can check out his dog, Cabal, featured in the story.

Awwww! Did you end up writing 5 pages single-spaced when it should have been double, or double-spaced when it should have been single?? Either way, that sucks =( *huggs*

There came a time when the people of Sickle rejoiced, crying "Praised be! The task is neigh complete, and we doth need just a conclusion 'fore the Weekend Celebration may begin." But no, for a scribe didst check the requirements, and saith unto the people, "Verily, the text must be single-spaced, for double-spacing is an afront in the eyes of Our Reader." And the people did weep, seeing their work reduced to the ashes of a mere three tables, when five was the Holy Number. They returned to their labour under the lashes of the Brethren of Deadlines, and there was much sadness in the land of Sickle.
