Up at 2 am and not calling me: seems she found out it was the Condor deadline for getting an ad in the program book, and she sat up half the night putting a new format together, since what we could afford was a half page, and our regular flier isn’t formatted for that size.<\/p>\n
This morning she thought she’d lost the file. And was so darned tired she couldn’t find it readily.<\/p>\n
I’m laying the law down: she is not to do one more favor for one more person until she gets a chance to get her own files up. She’s done covers left and right; she’s done the lettering and cleanup on the covers I did; and when we get somebody complaining about this little glitch or that one on the site or in a file, she takes it personally to try to get it perfect. I started out doing the file formatting for all the books, but I was having a hard go finishing the Bren book, so she took over doing that temporarily, and then got all the messages from people with a problem with this format and that format, and started trying to fix all of those. Besides the fact she’s the one who’s done all the site artwork, and the research on the sales software, and Paypal, and so on, and then somebody (not on this site) writes that he doesn’t like the colors she used.<\/p>\n
I’ve told her give me the formatting job back, for gosh sake, and show me the new things she’s learned since I last did it. She’s got several more formats debugged. We’re not perfect yet, but we’ll keep after it. She did get one nice note from a reader who said we’ve done the cleanest e-books she’s yet downloaded, but all three of us in Closed Circle are perfectionists in our own odd way, and right now she’s working herself into the ground trying to make it all work flawlessly: but 2 am designwork is over the top. And the night before that it was 2 am trying to make the site perfect.<\/p>\n
So we get home from the rink this afternoon and get a call from a dear friend who’s having computer trouble. Could Jane fix it?<\/p>\n
Thank you, Jane. Don’t know what I’d do without you. But get your own book finished. Please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
