Mid-morning. Earlier you had breakfast, read the paper and then drove
to the DMV and renewed your registration and license plate as well as renewing
your driver’s license for another four years. You have sent BookBaby another
note resigning to pay whatever to resubmit your manuscript. No anger, figuring
you made the errors and will thus literally pay for it. – Amorella
1012 hours. I suppose I need to take a self-anger management class but
it is not going to happen. A night of rest is all it took. Right now I am out
in the woods working. It is a pleasant cool and sunny morning with a few
insects and birds making sounds now and then. I am facing south with a view
down to the run that meanders down to Muddy Creek behind me.
Backyard Morning, 29 July 14
Post, orndorff - Amorella
Carol
made stuffed peppers for lunch and they were excellent. Before lunch you put folded
clothes away and put new sheets, etc on the bed as well as spent time cleaning
up your documents on iCloud as well as on the computer. - Amorella
1338 hours. I
trashed most documents no longer needed and created a few new doc holders for
GMG.Two. I also correctly set up an ebook doc for a final draft (based on
BookBaby standards). I have a
working chapter 3 on the desktop ready to go. I am rather surprised BB has not
sent me any reply; even an added bill would be okay.
Maybe that is what they are doing, orndorff. Waiting until they are
finished with the corrections and then they will charge you by the hour. Think
that’s it, boy? – Amorella.
1344 hours. Your tone is a bit sarcastic but there is probably some
truth to it. I didn’t think about hourly charges, but basically that’s
reasonable. Time to move on to chapter three – I have absolutely no idea what
is going on in this chapter. I may take a quick nap first.
Later, dude. – Amorella
1520 hours. I am ready to begin chapter three, Dead. I glanced over the
original text and it appears that The Brothers and Grandma’s Story need lots of
work. I have forgotten how this is in the original. Pouch won’t work at all and
there is no Dead.
First, take time to read what you have already; start at the beginning
of book two. Piecemeal and Family are the chapter words. Let’s go with
‘Leafing’ for the third. – Amorella
1612 hours. This is better, beginning again, and I am making corrections
along the way. I absorb the sentences and reflect on their clearer
evolution. I am there with Merlyn and the Supervisor and I see things I did
not observer earlier. In the process the fingers ‘tweak’ the letterforms, which
are not unlike the simplified Merlyn himself -- this is much like a Neoclassical thought or
a metaphysical conceit – perhaps that is what being human is to me (in here), an elaborate metaphor
based on a notion. How can Merlyn evolve in his thought if I do not.
Post. - Amorella
You
received word for BookBaby that GMG.One has been put on hold and that there
will be no extra charge and that you may turn the revised copy in tomorrow. You
have gone over the manuscript one more time, again finding errors, making
corrections and some deletions to make a clearer more concise edition. Post. –
Amorella
2247 hours. It is beyond belief. It is as a miracle.
Joy with a bit of hyperbole. - Amorella
