Can You Do Circuits During Pregnancy

The daily life of a Buechereule - Februar 2011

Derzeit ist alles etwas schwierig. Da werden nachts um zwei Uhr noch fleißig Mails ins Datennirwana gejagt, achtseitige Leporellos entworfen und verworfen, bis die Zickzackfalz auch bis in die letzte Gehirnwindung einen Knoten gesponnen hat. Da müssen Termine gemeistert, Fotos bearbeitet, Bewerbungen geschrieben und Kontakte geknüpft werden. Da müssen Manuskripte gelesen, bewertet und abgelehnt werden. Und das alles neben dem University of ordinary madness. Students have just not always easy and comfortable. Fortunately soon are vacation - maybe I will (very owl-standard) can make up for a few days sleep. A look at my schedule compliant? With pleasure.

the weekend and in the days around me I flitze often at events with my Canny through the area. As a freelance journalist for a local newspaper you can experience many things. On Sunday there was a football tournament of the F1 and F2 Youth, on Saturday a handball tournament for the sports section on Monday for a romantic Valentine's Day concert with guitar, in candle light and love poems of an evangelical church, heute ein Wochenmarkt und die Einladung zum närrischen Heringsessen piepste heute hartnäckig in meinem Handy herum. Ich werde mich besonders auf einen Rundgang freuen, den ich bald terminieren werde: Durch ein Stadtarchiv.

Kurz vor der Leipziger Buchmesse laufen in bestimmt vielen Verlagen die Drucktermine für aktuelle Frühjahrstitel an. So auch in dem Lyrik-Verlag, in dem ich zwei Mal in der Woche aushelfe. Letzte Woche habe ich angefangen, drei Bücher zu setzen. Darunter ein leichtes, ein mittleres und ein ziemlich fieses Manuskript – fies bezogen auf die Typografie und nicht auf den Inhalt. Die Deadline ist am Montag in wenigen Tagen und bislang bin ich noch ganz gut im Zeitplan.

Nicht nur die Fertigstellung der Spring titles currently runs at full speed, but also the trappings. The big word for me are currently advertising. Stickers? Postcards? Leporello? Currently pile up the jobs. After the draft is putting in a layout program, then the content is entered, which must be requested very often the first place. Now and then I sit for another publisher, for whom I work also, different variations. After the final decision to follow the fine-tuning and the text work until the data are eventually ready for printing. On Friday I will put a sticker quietschgrün for the first time see themselves and am curious if the requested spot color has been taken well is. Without a calibrated monitor or a Pantone fan, this is always difficult to assess.

sit On Sunday, I (after two flea market dates for the newspaper) in a bookstore, located in a beautiful Art Nouveau villa on Main and will sit on the jury to the reading competition of the Association of German Book Trade. So far I have participated as a jury member, only twice - but on the very first level. Now I'm looking forward to the small final, that is because: District decision.

I am currently commuting to swim on, and balance between studying, my business and my private life. Fortunately, after this week begins the lecture-free time for Me: With two papers, more work and an interesting development that seems to arise for me in terms of placement of fortune or a whole rat's tail of organization behind it is. I hope you forgive me, therefore my irregular posts.
