* Insert funk guitars and frat boy rock beat here
Today was all ups and downs my friends. Fucking crazy I tell you. Started out with a nice letter from one of the authors I'm working with about the prototypes I sent her for the interior pages of her books. She loved them all. A very nice feeling. Even more so since she needed a LOT of convincing on the cover. But now that she's seeing it all come together she's pretty happy.

Then I get to the studio. I brought home a 7 spreads to work on over the weekend. Turned them all into the creative director and they all got the thumbs down, with two needing me to start over from scratch. NEVER a good feeling.

Got feedback on the spreads I wrapped up Friday before I left. All were alright, but all the headlines needed to be reworked. One took me 3 attempts to get right.

Worked on some visual summary pages for science between corrections and turned those in to the CD. All got immediate approval.

Finished up the last round of corrections and looked at the clock. 6:45. How the hell did it get so late. I looked up and not anyone in the studio had left yet. We all lauged our asses off. Well, at least those of us who get paid by the hour.
