I needed to take a break from writing today, so I went back to my python program to create digital fore-edges. When I last wrote about it, I mentioned that I'd figured out how to add an image to the page (proof of concept!) and then I changed a bunch of stuff and broke the program.
It works! (Probably)
Today I fixed it again and cleared up a few other problems, such as... The edge of the page is only on the right side for odd pages. It's on the left side for even pages. And speaking of that, you won't be able to see the even and odd edges when you flex the book, so really the picture should be on one or the other (or duplicated to both).
Anyhow, you end up with left and right page edges that look sort of like this:
When you have all the page edges together, it should look something like this.
Time for the hard part
Now I have to figure out what image to use. That map of the book's city is too complicated and boring. I've been tossing around other possibilities with friends today, but I haven't come up with anything I really like. Maybe a better map? Maybe a stack of books? A pterodactyl? A design?
This is where I wish I had a better artistic sense. Oh well.

Things are looking good... We just need to stick to this plan.

Have I reached my 1700 word goal today?
Not yet, but I still have time. (I reached my goal yesterday.)
