I'm trying to get as much done as I can before I start going into the University again in September - and I don't think I've ever been so busy, worked so hard, in my life!<br />www.susanpriceauthor.comSusan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-24161461732484620702011-08-10T16:49:12.226+01:002011-08-10T16:49:12.226+01:00Karen, it is a lot more faff than people expect.

Having worked in book and magazine publishers I can do it on autopilot, but my husband is preparing a book for Kindle and keeps popping into my study to ask how often to use italics and that sort of thing. The good thing, though, is that when you spot something wrong you can make the chages yourself, without having to wait for proofs to come back - possibly with marks having been missed. <br />I'll echo Dan's wish and hope yo9u soon find the time! <br />Having horses doesn't help - they always seem to know when you have your mind in a book instead of on them!Roz Morris aka @Roz_Morris .

If I have a commission and a deadline to meet (not to mention a nice cheque as an incentive) I will do it there and then and deliver it well within the deadline. If I'm working on my own projects, such as a novel, I'm having a good day if I write three paragraphs without procrastinating!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371523973050040197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-4100031993915615212011-08-10T14:22:43.327+01:002011-08-10T14:22:43.327+01:00Blimey, foolscap, I remember foolscap at school to...Blimey, foolscap, I remember foolscap at school too - everything from ringbinders to doument wallets used to come in 2 sizes - A4 or foolscap.<br /><br />VEry best with the time finding quest - the most elusive search since Parsifal set offDan Hollowayhttp://danholloway.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
