Learning Drains Fear…

Noticed That Numbers of Times Lately…

And again, tonight. I had a book all together in a Word docx file and needed to get it run through Vellum. My safety net (Kris) was working in the WMG office, so I fired up on the book at my desk in the WMG office and right at the end, 25 minutes later, I got stuck on a question that Kris didn’t even know the answer to.

But I put the entire book together, laid it all out, back matter and everything, and got it entirely ready in the Vellum step to get to stores in just under 35 minutes.

And no fear.

Learning has drained all the fear away.

I had been living with this fear of Vellum, mostly because all the buttons are so tiny, and secondly because everyone said it would be easy. But I have a detailed procedure now and am learning where all the tiny little buttons are, and the fear has vanished.

Got that way with covers as well. Learning combined with doing just makes fear vanish. Amazing.

Now headed to my writing computer once again for some words before me and the two cats asleep in my office call it a night. (Or morning as the case is at the moment.)
