Today should be the day that I breathe easier, where I relax a little and rejoice that I've finished another issue. But that is not the case. I was able to wrap up the "Hard News" and "Live Report" sections, but not get through the "Pick Of The Litter" last night. I excused myself during our "Life Group" meeting at our house and worked on this stuff. Once I finish the last piece of the magazine, there is still a lot of proofreading, correcting and final file preparations before I send to the printer.
Another thing that's cool about our printer's new Auto Upload technology is I don't have to wait for the pre-press team to provide me proofs. I can approve a proof that's generated within seconds after uploading a file. If I approve it quickly, the whole magazine can get plated and printed right away.
I am thankful, though. While I should be done but I'm not, at least I'm scheduled to interview one of my favorite bands at 10am. Not many people can say that. Here's to finishing this issue!
