Guess what? Yep. I got the proof of the book alright and of course on the second page there were gramatical errors I didn't catch. Here I go again. Immediately, without even a thought I began the rewriting process. This wasn't anything like before where I had to rationalize fixing my errors. Now I am looking at this book as a professional endeavor. What is a few more weeks of trimming away the fat anyway?
I am proud of myself. I have always been a "Let's just get it done" guy. Now I am being more careful. A first.
There are a lot of examples of my being in just get it done mode. I did tile work for years and our motto was to just keep going - it is artwork, not perfection. Though with tile, most of the pieces are milled in different sizes. It is almost impossible to make a floor absolutely perfect. With the exception of Marble. With marble each piece is milled exactly because the grout joints are only about a sixteeth of an inch thick.
Taking the tiling analogy, I need to view this book as a marble project. I am simply laying it out as perfect as possible. Please, please God, make this the last redo. I've wanted to grout this job for months!
Thanks for hanging in there once again. I will be on vacation next week so won't be able to blog. Guess what I'll be doing? Tiling. No actually just finished a huge job in the desert recently. THis vacation it's watching the Dodgers in spring training - a first, and typing like a possessed man!
Happy trails!
