By Ted Grussing … and I lounged around this morning drinking espresso, listening to the rain and making major revisions in my book. Talked to my friend Alice tonight who was expecting a proof to begin her meticulous and inspired editing last week … alas she received nothing, but next week it will begin and the focus has changed completely … I like it better too.
