Exactly. I think the biggest challenge in learning this program has to do with putting your own mind in the real flow of the program itself. It works differently than anything I've ever had experience with. And frankly, I see this as a metaphor for living in our world – we tell so many stories about what life “should” be that we lose sight of the fact that we have to live with life as it really is, if we want any chance at all to work to a desired end. You have to learn the real rules, not play the game by your own. And inDesign does not think the way I do, so I have to learn to think the way IT does. Context, purview – the willingness to work with what is really there.

I ran into the potential to have created the same snafu yesterday and managed to avoid it by having actually learned from my mistakes. But honestly, sitting in front of that computer for nearly nine hours, trying to stitch together book covers (back and forth between Photoshop, which I nearly understand, and this program) and outguess the wildly self-willed and inconsistant world of epub logic – I find myself staring stupidly at the screen and doing the same minute corrections wrong over and over again, a sort of dumb pattern of repetition. Eating is always good. And running somewhere – anywhere.

Thank you, it's good to know that other people understand this – and are willing to share.
