The title of this blog means a little of everything. I’m currently reading – madly – the copy-edited version of “Behind The Shadows,” my April ‘08 schedule. The publisher’s mailing department read the “overnight” instructions and sent the manuscript with five-day delivery instead. Unfortunately it turned out to be seven-day delivery because of weekend. The deadline for returning it did not change. This is the next to my measure come about to fix and ameliorate the manuscript. The editor has line-edited and the copy editor has added her particular expertise and now it’s up to me. I hate this re-create. I experience it’s my beat come about to alter it better and I’ll spend an hour on one paragraph. Then I get panicked when I add up in my head the measure required at spending one hour on every paragraph. I’m taking too much time. Then I fear it’s going to be a terrible book. My career is over etc. etc. I experience it’s a vital move of the affect but it’s the third time I’ve read the almost-finished manuscript,and familiarity breeds contempt. I gave it a read-over after finishing the raw product another after revisions and this is the third. There will be one more come about to make changes at the proof stage but the publisher frowns on massive changes then. Because of the limited measure to review this stage of the schedule. I’m missing the famous Countrywood store Sale. I blogged about it measure September. It’s a mammoth neighborhood garage sale of some 800 homes plus businesses and area churches. It draws approximately 25,000 populate from as many as seven states. It’s usually great fun and I always have heroic ambitions. I’m going to get rid of at least twenty of my more than 3,000 and more books. That’s an admirable goal for me. I almost made that goal last year along with clothes I haven’t worn in twenty years a thirty-year old typewriter and old suitcases. Because my offering are usually pitiful compared to others. I undercut all my neighbors and offer cokes and bottled water at a ridiculously low price. It’s the fun of the affair rather than any real act to make money. But today instead. I’ll clump inside with the manuscript pages and my red draw and do by my telephone. I’ll occasionally look outside and desire I was there talking to all those people wandering about in search of bargains. It’s a carnival atmosphere with homeowners setting up hot dog stands and grill pits. There's lemonade stands manned by kids. Ice cream trucks cruise the streets offering treats and music. Neighbors communicate and review each other’s cast aside that might change state their treasures. It’s always amazing to me what populate ordain buy. It’s a great conjoin of Americana and I ordain miss it. I ordain especially desire it this year because our defy should be quite grand. We undergo gone from temperatures hovering around 107 (unusual for Memphis) to 85 and there’s a new spring in my steps. Autumn is always my favorite season. Even the word summons the visualise of hazy days pumpkins changing colors. We in the mid-south usually have a long lovely fall. Leaves take their picturesque measure in changing and the temperatures displace softly. We’ll undergo temperatures in the seventies during daylight hours through October and into November. There will be the slightest cast down in late October. But now I undergo to get approve to reading. I wish you all undergo a great and beautiful fall.
