These past weeks I got curious and gave myself a project to research and become super familiar with book formatting programs (and so many more options it will do your head in!!!). This was going to be a fun project for me as I'm usually doing the .
Lots of format their own books, which is amazing if you've got the patience to learn the software, an eye for design, and the time to make it look the way you want. OMG! 😬 I was stressing myself out all month learning all this software, seeing which one fit my design style and skills best, spending 1-2 hours per page on formatting :woman-facepalming:. I realized that the amount of time I spent learning would've been better spent doing things that I loved (writing, editing, eating chocolates) and paying to have someone else format my books.
Lesson learned, what this experiment taught me was appreciation for what I REALLY LOVE - COPY EDITING and equal appreciation for the designers who format and our books.
