Does it matter what font you write in? Does that somehow effect your writing?
It seems like the last thing I should be worrying about. And I'm not really worrying, really, but during my massive rewrite I switched out of the oh-so-boring Times New Roman. It's much more fun now to look at the words.
But when I send this puppy out for people to read, I'll switch back to the standard. I just can't stand looking at Times New Roman anymore. I feel like I'm writing a term paper and maybe that's why my writing isn't engaging enough.
Bleh.
I only care about font when I'm officially querying/submitting somewhere. Otherwise I have fun. My main text is still in Times New Roman, but I get creative with my chapter headings. :)
ReplyDelete(P.S. I always write single spaced and then convert it to double for the same reason -- because it makes me feel like I'm writing a college paper. No fun!)
ReplyDeleteHey, whatever helps! I'm a big fan of Garamond myself:)
ReplyDeleteI always write in different fonts. I can't start work on a new ms until I find the right one, but I always switch back when querying.
ReplyDeleteMy current WiP is written in Baskerville Old Face.
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI came over here from Shelley's blog, and yay I'm your fifth follower! I'm the opposite, I guess. Fancy fonts distract me beyond belief. It's plain ol times new roman for me!

Shelley - Ooooo. I will have to have fun with my chapter headings now. I foresee yet another procrastinatory outlet on my horizon...
ReplyDeleteNatalie - Exactly. Whatever makes the headache go away and the creative juices flow!
Jade - I think I'm going to change my current WIP's titles to Baskerville Old Face. =)
Karen - WELCOME! One day, I hope I will make double-digits with my followers. Half-way there thanks to you!
