December 8th, 2005724 pages
The coworker and I are staring at the first actual copy of the book. 724 pages of annoyance.
Ironically, the second I opened it at Staples, I found an error. Grrrr.
Even though I know the whole point of the first draft is to find errors and edit it, I forgot an image, so a page is blank, aside from a caption—and I checked for that twice. But nooooo, the moment I open it… boom, first thing I see.
Argh.
wait… what do you do again?

Wendy… so hard to explain. I have many titles, including webmaster, graphic designer, copyeditor, book producer, web designer, blah, blah, blah.. kill me.
Anne… I honestly don’t know. Editing it is really not a fun process—and this is just the first of five books. Tears, lots of tears. :'(
