The spice of life

I like juggling a variety of projects, but there’s variety and then there’s variety. It just occurred to me that I haven’t posted to the blog in nearly a week and I’m going to have to hand in my bloggers’ union card if I don’t write something. Then I thought about the reason and realized it’s because in the last week I’ve:

• Drafted a user guide for a medical device


• Started writing a book proposal (for a client) for an inspirational memoir (and ghostwriting the sample pages)


• Closed a deal to design a book to be privately printed for a wedding (I’ll also be doing the composition)


• Closed a deal to design an InDesign XML-import template for a product catalog


• Designed two small Web sites


• Written blurbs and shipped sample books for a couple of regional book trade shows


• Scheduled a television interview for October


• Written some thumbsuckers for various online fora


• Gotten out of the house a few times, too


• And I have a feeling I’m forgetting a couple of things

No wonder I’m tired.
