The Life and Times of a Publisher

Today has been a difficult day. It was the day technology decided to stop for me. I went to my coffeehouse office to write. I have most of my June copy done, however, I needed to go back and listen to some of my notes. That's when I realized my audio pen would not work. I sat at the table hitting the pen against the paper trying to get it to pick up the sound. But of course, it would not budge. I was screaming inside. Then instead of the May issue being delivered from the printer in San Antonio, my husband ended up having to drive and get them. This did not make me happy. But on the bright side, they will go out to the community tomorrow... Yea! Finally.

So I have sat looking to see if I had any other options for a audio pen and haven't found any. I'm also trying to decide will I invest in a new pen or just use the traditional recorder. But I love technology and love to find the next best thing. But I am worried about the interviews I cannot go back and listen to for information. But I learn today, I better use a back up when I interview someone because even with sketchy notes it is hard to remember everything. That is what makes the audio pen so great. Ugh!!!!

Now I can move on to the June issue and all of the things I have to do for my year issue.  Between planning for the fundraiser, writing, interviewing, and all the other things that happen in life, I should have plenty to keep me busy. Tomorrow is a new day and I'll be ready for it. Thanks for reading.
