The book is well under way.
The publishers couldn't be happier.
The bad news...
The deadline is March 15th! And I'm still writing, re-writing and editing.
Some days I swear that I can't pull one more coherent thought out of my head, the next day the words come so fast and furious that I can't write them quickly enough. What I have now is such a jumble that I'm not even sure I can re-organize it. What I need is an assistant. And a new mini recorder, mine chose the worst possible time to conk out.
Among the unbound fragments
found after Emily Dickinson's death
is a small slip of paper that reads only,
"But ought not the amanuensis to receive a commission also --"
I'm no Emily Dickinson, but I completely understand.
I've come to believe that dictation is the ultimate act of love.
To have someone who cares for your words enough to make that sacrifice is a precious gift that cannot bear the weight of a price tag, nor can it be given enough gratitude.

I can't wait to read it. I think you're pretty awesome.
Wow! That deadline is closing in fast! Lots of "completion thoughts" heading your way! :)
BW, you know I'll always consider you a friend from the trenches ;)
The next book is fiction. It should be interesting. there are a total of 2 that I have 'in the works' and one that is drafted but not complete.
Right now this is a priority. These stories are important to tell.
I hope to have an Amazon link up soon.
Thanks for your support ;)
Good vibes that you make the deadline. Whew, I hate deadlines!
Seamus, this weekend is buckling down.
I'll be finished by Monday... at least that's the plan.
Ken, please email me. I've done all I can think of in light of what I've learned from you recently, but I think more is in order. I couldn't find your addy so please write soon..
Sincerely,
your friend,
T
