Trying to figure out if I want to print short story booklets in A6 or A5 format (around 10x14 cm/4x6 inch vs 14x20 cm/6x8 inch) Which size would you prefer for a short story? Keep in mind that A6 would have about double the number of pages than A5, in case that affects the reading experience. 📚💙

Social battery 🪫 Add to that being in pain cos I bumped my head and neck against the pool wall in a "wild water ride" (waiting to see if this goes away or if I might have actually damaged my vertebrae 😬) and my foot having a severe case of dyshidrotic eczema... 💀💀💀

The thing about writing dreampunk is that things can become such glorious fun 😂 Zombie sharknado anyone? 🦈🌪️ #AmWriting 📚💙
