For most, finishing the first draft is the big step, or maybe finishing the last draft... But sometimes, it feels like formatting the damn things is a bigger accomplishment for me! I must have uploaded what I thought was the final draft six times before I could scroll through the entire 212 pages and not find any formatting errors.

Now, to wait for the formatting powers that be to approve the thing.

The only way I can format for CreateSpace is to use their basic template and submit a PDF, not a DOC file. This works first time, every time.

I pasted my text into the basic template and it took all the page #s off, messed up headings and vertical spacing...it was all weird. I had to paste it in chapter by chapter before converting it to pdf.
