November the fifteenth - I'm Crazier Than I Usually Am

I'm Crazier Than I Usually Am

This is driving me crazy. Actually, I’m already crazy. All this about what Font to use and what margins to use is driving me crazier than I already am. I know that I shouldn’t be worried about that right now, but I am. Really want to get these novels published this year, but I can’t do that if they aren’t formatted correctly. Not unless I want to self-publish, which I would like to do, but can’t afford to do. No, I need to go the traditional way, but I can’t that if I don’t know what I’m doing.

The good news is that I’ve finished my Introduction Chapter for my Wandita novel. Now for the bad news. It’s written in Times New Roman right now. Only the research I have found says that I shouldn’t be using that. I should be using Courier. Which I prefer to us anyway. I’ve done some experimenting to see what it would look like under courier too. So far, it doesn’t look too bad. I’m going to have to tweak it here and there some, but overall, it’s not too bad. I don’t know what I’m going to do. At this rate, I’m not even going to get one chapter done this month.

I’ve also changed from two pages per part to three pages per part or sections as everyone else calls them. So, instead of a four-hundred-and-twenty-page novel, it’s going to be a six- hundred-and-thirty-page one. Fifteen pages per chapter instead of ten. I know that they shouldn’t be the same exact number of pages, but that’s just the way I like to write. When it comes to a Short Story, I sometimes plan them, even sectionalize them, but I don’t plan them out like I do my novels. Something else that makes me crazier than everyone else on WDC.

What am I going to do tomorrow, I mean today? I keep forgetting that by the time I’m posting these now it’s already tomorrow. I’ve got to learn to stop doing that. Anyway, in answer to the question I asked myself a million years ago, I don’t know what I’m going to do. Originally, I was going to start working on my Jessica Strong Introduction Chapter. Now I’m not so sure that I want to do that or figure out what’s going to happen with my Wandita Introduction Chapter or both if I got the time to do both.
