The life of an editor…

January 13, 2012 By Marit 29 Comments

The life of an editor-in-chief of a new to come magazine is a busy life.
Answer e-mails.
Write e-mails.
Write articles.
View concepts.
Deliberate.
Co-ordinate content.
Answer more e-mails.
View photos.
Write e-mails.
Drink coffee.
View first layout of the magazine pages.
Deliberate.
Write another e-mail….

… but MAN is it fun and rewarding!

Yep, I did all that last week.
I even started making another art journal page
somewhere in between.
It’s not finished yet.
You will understand.

I did write a haiku too.
After all, it’s Haiku my Heart Friday!

Parodontitis

haat-liefde verhouding met

mijn tandenborstel

Periodontitis

in a love-hate affair with

my f*king toothbrush

For more haiku and photos, find the other Haiku my heart Friday
participants on Rebecca’s blog Recuaerda mi Corazon.

Two notifications:

  • If you haven’t taken the ‘Etsy shop survey’ that is on
    the FEATURING website: do it now!
    It takes 5 to 10 minutes max. The survey closes on Sunday.
    The outcome will be used for a magazine article and
    don’t worry, it’s anonymous!
    Click here to go to the survey.
  • We extended the date and the theme for the theme gallery
    of the first issue. ‘Applause’ seemed too narrow and rather
    difficult for people to get inspired.

    The new theme is: CHEERING, STOMPING AND APPLAUDING

    The deadline for submissions is now February 29
    Find all the info on the website here

I’m off for a walk now… I can do with some fresh air (and movement!)
The sun is shining, which wasn’t the case all week, so I take advantage of that.
Hope your weekend is bright and shiny as well!
Enjoy, dear ones, enjoy!

(Oh, and brush your teeth! Keep ‘m healthy!)

    Looks like being busy suits you. You haven’t missed a beat. In the words of the immortal Mr. Natural, “Keep on truckin'”

    That toothbrush is way better than dentures… and keeps you smiling as you as editor in chief tackle all the parts of your incredible art making and busy days swirling round you like those magic bristles… ๐Ÿ™‚

    Your haiku made me laugh, after a visit to my dentist this past week, as well. I thought I was doing so well – ha! It seems that I’ll also be having that same relationship to my toothbrush!

    Oh bless you, Marit! LOVE your haiku and that’s a really great photo! yet another thing we have in common my dear – I have gum loss (hereditary disposition and smoking didn’t help!), exacerbated by a treatment for the psoriasis on my left foot! How weird is that?! Lol!
