Holy cow, oh my goodness, fly-over-the-handlebars with sudden stopping jolting shock.

I spoke to a self-publishing consultant. He graciously (for a larger amount of money than I typically earn in a week) spent a fat hour on the phone with me, first thinking like a book designer and second, thinking like a book publisher.

He taught me a lot.

I knew there were problems in Pictureland, irritants in Imageville, and difficulties in Drawing World, as I went through my adventures in Adobe Indesign.

Yeppers. Good thing I didn’t sell any of those originals yet, because I need to rescan them. Then I need to buy Adobe Photoshop and learn how to use it. Then I need to put the new scans in Photoshop to do some computer converting and some magical mystery adjusting.

No biggie. 268 drawings, minus the 2 that I accidentally amputated, and the 4 that I drew as commissions and let the customer take equals 262 drawings to be rescanned.

When Mr. Consultant learned I did this project on a laptop using iPhoto, he called me “a warrior”.

Well, yea, I can feel good about something as I muddle along in techie ignorance.

Now I need to figure out how to procure Photoshop without subscribing to the “creative cloud”. Barf. Just sell me the dang program.

Attitude, attitude, attitude. Think and act like a warrior.

Yikes – do I need to find a rifle and shoot this project?

Nope. Nevuh, nevuh, nevuh give up.

To be continued. . .
