Yeah, this is not going badly at all -- partly because all the formatting in my book is very vanilla. And partly because it's so easy in the WYSIWYG to accomplish things with cut and paste instead of bothering to take all the time defining templates, styles, and so on. Not cool or sophisticated, but it gets to the result in a way suitable for a one-off approach. Really, for my book the most complicated thing is doing the headings, text boxes, and page numbering.
I'm also being aided by my wife who (as a technical writer for years, and then a UI designer) has vast experience wrestling with various versions of WORD. Over the past 25 years, I've maybe done two or three publications with Word (the last in 2010), and all the rest were in LaTeX->PDF. Word, and its clones, suck; but for some applications it's the most rational choice. But I definitely don't regret using Sigil/Epub for the primary work.
