He’s not the only one. Whenever a Bond movie comes out, my job temporarily changes from layout designer to editor. As I’m the resident Bond expert at the magazine I work for, I’m responsible for the cover story about the new movie. 20 pages.
Already wrote a large piece myself (ended up with 25.000 letters and had to cut it down to under 10.000), held meetings with the other writers, negotiated about cover photos of Naomie Harris and all that stuff. How I loved to break the news to my boss yesterday evening. What makes it worse is that now my co-workers have to build an entirely new cover story from scratch.
But then again, not all is wasted. I’ll put everything into a drawer and take it out again in a few months…
