I find the notion that writers need to distance themselves from designing to be old-fashioned and time-wasting.
If that's the way it's "supposed to be" then writers should also get absolutely no say in the final design. You either care how it ultimately looks, or you don't. And if you DO care, then take a proactive role in making it happen the way you want. |
AMEN, brother, preach it!
I was
appalled at that post that Notjohn linked us to. I mean, talk about arrogant, condescending, patronizing
TRIPE. I wanted to find that guy and slap him silly. "Oh, learning how to use a word processor is okay for SECRETARIES and CLERICAL claptrap, but WE, we proud few, of the AUTHOR class, well, we needn't bother our pretty little, incredibly-valuable heads with such petty details."
What a load of old s**t.
