What began in May 2005 as an assignment to completely redesign the entire product line for a major publisher's reading ancillaries finally finished this morning with the last 6,500 pages being piled into the back of a FedEx truck. While my involvement only goes back to about July of 2005, here's a quick summary of what the past year and a half have seen:
14 rounds of design revisions;
6 focus groups;
components from 878 individual books;
2 editions of the same books;
2 completely different production teams;
the assistance of 2 other senior Project Managers;
at least 30 different editors, and;
6 different client contacts.
All for a total of over 17,000 finished pages (which is actually 3 times that number, when you count earlier rounds);
If I wasn't so damn tired right now, I'd be out celebrating.
But even still...I'm pretty damn proud of myself and my team.
I'm sure going to miss them.

wow, quite an accomplishment!
congrats
So... why are you still hiding out? :p
Because I've decided to return to work on a novel that I started in November 2005. I have about 23,000 words written and will need about 90,000 before I can do anything with it, so I have quite a bit more writing ahead of me.
