I don't know this world from personal experience, mind you. I've just been reading a lot about it. What I've seen so far makes my head hurt. I'm one of those people who grew up at the time when computers were just bursting onto the scene. I think I've moved along with the times quite nicely and usually have no problems adapting to a new computer or program. Still, I rarely know technical terms and when they're thrown at me in quick succession, my eyes glaze over. Which is exactly what just happened.
There are a couple of good and recent articles on Writer's Digest about self-publishing. You're given all the ins and outs of how it's done including how to format, cover art, etc. I started reading thinking, maybe I can do this, but left with a headache.
Maybe I'm too old for this (and I'm not that old-I promise!). This is exactly why I've been pursuing the old-fashioned, tried and true agent route. Because I need help! I don't want to do this all by myself! At least not yet;-) I know doing everything electronically is the way of the future. I get that and I'll figure it out when I need to. Just like I'm figuring out this whole blogging thing. I'm getting there;-)
Now, excuse me while I go down a couple of ibuprofen and get out my notebook. I'm taking a break from technology for a couple of hours.
