Insider glimpse: Burn those cards!

This is going to be a very short post! But it will amuse me to give you an insider view of what happened. Remember those business cards I promised?

Yeah, not happening! I ordered them and they came in looking the worst of any business card I have ever ordered. Why? Too little real estate crowded with too much text and graphics! They just will not do. You can only read them with a magnifying glass, so I am going to re-design them and order a fresh printing.

That’s it. A short and laughable glimpse into the struggles of a writer/publisher. Have a great day!

    LOL I had a similar situation. I attended the Christian Worldview Film Festival back in March and did not think to bring business cards! So I decided to pull out InDesign real quick, create my cards, and print them at the nearest Staples in that area. First, the borrowed van died a few times and then when I walked to Staples, everything turned out too small and disjointed. I finally was able to fix it and had a fresh printing made a couple days later. That was definitely an adventure I did not expect, but I look back and laugh at it because it’s one of those random incidents that an artist like us go through. ๐Ÿ™‚
