Well, dear readers, you won’t believe it. I could barely believe it myself and yet it was true. As I mentioned, I printed out a few copies of the book to send to a few people for blurbs. I hadn’t intended going through it at all, but when they did the one with the wrong font on Saturday I did page through the beginning. And I began to find little things that needed fixing that my three proofers had somehow missed. So, yesterday I read through the rest of the book. I found over one hundred little problems and two fairly significant ones, which I then corrected. I ended up spending twelve hours doing so, but at least when it goes off to the publisher it will be somewhat close (I’m sure we’ll find more – we always do). This morning I am bleary-eyed and vaguely discontented, but I shall write the dedication and acknowledgment pages and off the thing will go. Whew.
Today I am having another movie meeting, then tonight I do the ASCAP/Disney workshop, which I’ll have a full report on tomorrow. Now, because of the workshop, I won’t be around very much for the live chat, but I trust if we have any uncouth interlopers that you know what to do.
I must keep these here notes short today, there’s just too much to do and my brain is not functioning properly. It is very difficult to write notes when your brain is not functioning properly or when it has a zillion other things floating around that need attention. For example, just this very minute I sat and stared at the screen while I thought of four other things. Five minutes went by and then I came out of my reverie. So, you see the problee. Has anyone noticed that I just typed “problee” instead of “problem”? That is the whole problem in a nutshell. When you have a problem in a nutshell you do use a nutcracker to get the problem out or do you just leave it there? What the hell am I talking about?
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because otherwise more problees might arise.
Have I mentioned that my brain is not functioning properly? I did manage to take a break yesterday and watch the rest of The Anderson Tapes, which does get much better in its second half. And I watched the first ten minutes of 8 Women, which is strange but likeable so far.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must send the book off to the publisher and attend to other things, like our very own motion picture. If you intending to come to our Tourette’s Benefit on March 3rd, and you wish to order tickets as a Hainsie/Kimlet (all Hainsies/Kimlets will be seated together), please e-mail cissyw123@aol.com and be sure to mention that you are a dear reader of this here site. Today’s topic of discussion: Since I’m in my book mode, what books are you currently reading, both fiction and non? Let’s have lots of posts and I’ll see you all at six for our Unseemly Live Chat.
