Paladin (n): 1.any one of the 12 legendary peers or knightly champions in attendance on Charlemagne.
I'm a hard head sometimes and if I put my mind to something it's rare for me to give up. At some times that's a down fall, at other strength. Perhaps it's my Achilles heel. (ok, I just watched Troy. Some of you may get this;)
Last weekend I decided to take on formatting for print. I've followed Aaron Shepard's instructions from a book titled Perfect Pages I bought over a year ago. I must say I was ready to give up more than once, but I'm glad I didn't. After a full day of "playing" around with Word (and I'm the kind of person who doesn't even know which version of word she had) I did it. I formatted my novella for print.
It wasn't easy. The section separators had me going for a while by linking from one to the other, but I finally figured out.
Now, only exporting to PDF and getting a cover ready (that I'm not ready to conquer - yet)
So for anyone who thinks formatting is difficult - It is - but if I did it, anyone can.
Have you accomplished something beyond what you thought you could? How did it feel?

Well done for figuring out the formatting. It's like anything - once you try it, you realise it's quite simple (well, apart from driving - I tried it and it's not simple!)
I just formatted my first e-book. I'd read everything about it and thought it was going to be easy. Ha! Everything was perfect until I converted to ePub. I ended up with extra lines everywhere. It turned out to be a simple setting, but it took some time to figure it out. Be proud!!
Glad you figured it out!
Yes, I'm still writing. That is way beyond what I thought possible.
That's great! I'm so glad you figured it out. :)
