If a writer needs a functional site, you can bet that a designer's site could use some wordsmithing!

The wrong tools can make or break you. I can create and lock PDFs, too. It's simple from any machine – with the right tools. Without the right tools, we flounder and waste entirely too much time trying to figure out a way to get it done.

Like you, I'm not a designer. I don't plan to add that to my background. I have these things because he says I should have them and learn to use them. 🙂

And that's it. I have what I need to provide writing and editing. The rest are toys I can't, and wouldn't use on a client job. For that, they need a different kind of freelancer.

Need it written? I can write it.

Need a great design? You'll have to get a designer.

Although I find that the Macbook has so many great design functions, I'm re-designing all my ebooks and I'm redesigning two of my three websites myself.

iWork and the other stuff on the Mac give me more flexibility than any of the myriad Microsoft programs I wasted money on over the years — programs that were supposedly compatible and then wouldn't talk to each other.

This is the first time in my career that I can say I HAVE everything I need in my computer. I'm still learning how to use it, but it's there. I may upgrade to Aperture in a couple of years if the travel writing requires a higher quality of photo that I take/edit with iPhoto. But so far, so good.

I can edit in Pages or Word, I can create all kinds of marketing materials, web materials, I can edit, I can create — and LOCK — PDFs. Amazing to me.

For years, I just thought I was a techno-moron. Turned out I simply had the wrong tools.
