arrival


The manuscript arrived today, all marked up and with a long letter from the editor. His suggestions to improve the book are on point, and I'm eager to dig in and have the final draft to him by mid-August. The letter began with two pages of the most direct, informed and sustained praise I've ever received. Reading it in the parking lot of FedEx I was so overcome with joy that I began weeping, and I bawled the whole way home. I need to send a letter of gratitude to an old friend. I'll report more early next week.
