And I just wasn't sufficiently in Dorothy's head. Plus I hadn't had months and months of rereading and tweaking the way I had with the first half of the book. But I think it's better now.<br /><br />I could probably revise endlessly -- when I do a reading, sometimes I find myself changing words here and there just because they sound better. <br /><br />Bur thank heavens the option to revise is there -- just as in your paintings.Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-38106302803737757522009-06-03T20:07:22.317-04:002009-06-03T20:07:22.317-04:00I never had any inkling of how many people it take...I never had any inkling of how many people it takes to publish a book! Glad you caught the clunker. Sometimes it's like that with a painting I've done. I like it when I first finish it, then when I look at it in a couple of months I find all sorts of things I don't like.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851516387194415387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-70592949534157429472009-06-03T19:46:58.231-04:002009-06-03T19:46:58.231-04:00I'm happy to say I got that squash and the pum...I'm happy to say I got that squash and the pumpkins planted this morning and then, as a reward, we had a fine rain this afternoon -- and another and another.

The Border collie boys stay pretty clean and if they need bathing, John will do it. <br /><br />But oh law, I know what you mean about wanting to go to bed.

He needs to be groomed, but then so does the house. I'm trying to prioritize--as they say. At least he doesn't smell as bad as he once did. He sleeps with me/us every night. Gotta plant my heirloom tomatoes (second shipment--first was nearly dead) tonight, also some sunflowers and zinnias. But I already want to go to bed.Kathryn Stripling Byerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867152753841610044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-61958878321837955022009-06-03T08:02:56.947-04:002009-06-03T08:02:56.947-04:00I'm trying to get out a bit earlier today and ...I'm trying to get out a bit earlier today and plant that squash.

Little rain over here and things are drying up and I'm having to carry water to the garden.

I know what you mean about laying down to be groomed ,Jake likes to collapse like a rag doll when being bathed. Hope you have a great day and no more book surprises at least!Carol Murdockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749285023748227382noreply@blogger.com
