I've only placed one page...

...and the rage is already building. I really need to master InDesign, I really do...

It's strange to have been toting around this A3 book full of images, hastily trying to finish everything in time for the deadline, and now I have to rip out almost every page to scan them in. I never take pages out, this is like ripping out little chunks of my heart. Especially in this circumstance, seeing as I have spent every waking moment for a couple of months now, making, thinking and breathing this project. Is this what it feels like to be an illustrator? A book-maker? My stress migraines are telling me not to make this a career... I hope the resolution is okay, I hope all the images are big enough for what I want, I hope I hope I hope... I really hope I don't have to redo any of the pages. I really really hope this project finishes without a fatal hiccup.

This book is my BABY. I don't want ANYTHING to go wrong. Especially seeing as I'm almost done with it. I'd be the worst mum haha.

Back on track with The Kraken

Just revised the script so I could finish it in time - provided I keep up with the much more manageable regime of daily deadlines. I could probably lop off a few more pages, technically I have 40 to spare, but I do like this story and I'd like to see it through to the end. It'll be good practise for me. For my future desired practice. Never taking illustration deadlines for granted ever again...
