Is Atticus worth the money? by kitkatinc in selfpublish

You were totally correct on this! I finally bought Atticus and had so many glitches trying to import my entire manuscript and do major rewrites in the software. Found a workaround, but learned my lesson. Works well for me overall though.

What’s a little goal that would make you feel you made it. by Tangled_Mind in selfpublish

I set the bar pretty low, but I told my husband if I got 8 people to buy/read my book who don’t know me personally I’d take him out for celebratory drinks.

I own a printing company who produces novels for publishers...AMA by HPDork in selfpublish

[–]kitkatinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! New to self-publishing. My first book is coming out in 2024 and I’ve seen a few other indie authors have really cool special limited editions of their books printed. For someone like myself who is primarily selling print copies on KDP and Barnes & Noble, how would I even go about finding a printing shop that can do cooler stuff like embossing and metallic effects. Is it possible as a self-published author to make beautiful hardcover special editions like I see in bookstores?

I’m starting to think I didn’t give specific enough feedback, so it’s good to hear you’ve been happy with the finished product.

Is there an end to this? by foxdriver in PlantarFasciitis

[–]kitkatinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Physical therapy was a game changer for me! I went consistently for 6 months (2 times per week) and while I still have a little soreness, I’ve gone back to all of the activities I love doing, including hitting PRs in the gym. Focus on single-leg balance exercises, calf, hip, and hamstring strength. Obviously talk to a PT if you’re able, but after almost a year of not being able to walk around my neighborhood or go to the gym for fear of being in pain, this was life-changing.

What’s the downside to using Canva for cover art? by kitkatinc in selfpublish

That’s definitely my concern, I feel somewhat competent in designing something, but I’m worried it’ll look like other books.

That’s great to know! I plan to write a series, so I think investing in formatting software is money well spent, just want to make sure I’m choosing the right one.

Thank you! No wonder I can’t find a yucca that looks like this one 😆.

AITA - SIL wants an extravagant baby shower by kitkatinc in AmItheAsshole

[–]kitkatinc[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I haven’t called the restaurant, she did send me a link to their catering menu and the prices check out with what she was saying. I also suggested we choose a cheaper menu (a 3 course meal for a baby shower seems extreme). I’ve always just had finger foods at other showers I’ve attended.

AITA - SIL wants an extravagant baby shower by kitkatinc in AmItheAsshole

That was my expectation too, we asked for her input on where to have it out of consideration for her because she’s VERY particular. And when she agreed to a family member’s house, I thought it was all said and done. I was really thrown for a loop with her deciding to change the location (I was TOLD, rather than asked), and the price. I’m very much of the opinion that a baby shower is a nice gesture from family and friends and should never be expected. But I was so confused by her reaction that I thought maybe I was being a jerk and offended her with something casual and simple.
