95% of the way there!

Hello Burn Ward Fan! Yes all one of you! I am grateful you are supporting this early effort and here is the latest!

I finished sending the printer the revised book cover! I also finished the final rewrite / revision and am as pleased as can be. Tonight I will convert the text into the proper format and wait for the printer's approval. I can't wait to see the proof!

In hindsight, this last tightening up process was incredible. Twenty pages were removed from the book. It was all fluff, direction, and didn't help the flow along one bit.

I remembered the husband's name of somebody who had died in that time period after not remembering it for years and years. Sid. Ha Ha! My brain still functions.

I was talking to Dr. Jenkins, a psychiatrist I work daily with about the book today. He was curious if I had omitted sensitive information about me. I admit there are a few circumstances I regret, one was using a pellet gun to shoot at rats that somehow got into the house. We used to have a makeshift shooting range late night, and wore minors lights on our heads. Yes I bagged a few of those babies and didn't really want to include that and something else too - but I will wait for my one fan to ask about it. I may or may not disclose the one shameful act I refuse to include.

There were plenty of other gems left out. Some people who frequented the place, a fishing expedition, a time we all went to a lake and hung out. That lake trip was my first inclination that I wasting my life away and wanted a change.

In the writing process some situations were combined, people too. It would be a thousand pages long and really not change the story much if I wrote only about the facts. In fact the first time I wrote out the book it was in this fashion and wanted to shoot myself because it was so damn boring to read.

I am excited and you, my only fan so far are going to really enjoy what is about to hit the masses!

Peace!
