Ha! I can definitely see, though, how putting it format would give a sense a purpose. It would seem less like a first or second or millionth draft, and more of an early version of a book. :) Rebecca, I’d feel too much pressure to make it publishable if were already in publishing format!

I like to write my earlier drafts in manuscript layout with my margins and typeface set to standards. I seems to make it feel real. It takes away that sense of scrawling onto pages no one will ever see and gives me a sense of purpose. It also helps me judge total page counts better. :-) Still, I can imagine you tweaking your layout in the word processor and investing in some thicker, 'good' printer paper ready to print off the first official copy of your manuscript. I hope you enjoyed the process, and the steps that follow. lol Ahh, it’s the simple things in life we often underestimate.
