Plucking up my courage

I mustered up the courage today and decided it was time to face a nagging fear.  I remember telling you about my little panic attack after purchasing InDesign.  It has been plaguing my mind, knowing that I have to learn the program and do the layout of the cookbook so I can send a useable version to the printer.  I have even been waking up in the night thinking about it.  I know how I want the cookbook to appear but for me there is  a big walk from what I know now and how to realize the end result.  So I bit the bullet today and ordered myself a self-learning instruction guide on how to use InDesign.  Honestly, I think even with it, it is going to seem like gibberish to me, but this book really seems like it is written for beginners, marketing speak for dummies, which frankly is exactly what I am.  So I ordered it and am just going to have to take it one step at a time.  I have decided that it is better to leap without looking, and learn to swim.  I will just paddle faster and harder to keep my head afloat and if it seems that I am staring at the sunny blue sky from three feet under the water, at least I will know which direction to swim!
