The Manuscript

Good news. The editor has finished his work and will hand over the suitably mutilated, sorry, annotated script tomorrow. Then my work begins again to incorporate all his changes, advice etc. This will include correcting any typos, goolies and clangers. It will also incorporate any suggestions he may have as to formulation and the removal of any hiccoughs where I may have repeated myself.

This is all usual routine, but I have never been there before, not on this scale anyway. My other published bits have tended to be published exactly 'as is' but they were not on this scale.

Oh, and I have another couple of pictures which may well be added.

Hey ho, roll on tomorrow. Actually, it will be an eventful day as two things will happen. One, custody of my baby will be restored to me, and I will actually enter a Public House, the first time for a long time.

Oh, I received an email today from a friend down in Plymouth who says he would be "delighted and honoured " to give me a review reference for the book! " (He has seen the draft).
