Magic 400

One more day and I will have cut the manuscript down the requisite amount. Next week I'll focus on additions from several key, untapped sources. Then delivery of Draft 2 and on to Draft 3.

Both Sides of Editing

Looks like I will happily have enough time on the schedule to both cut all the necessary fat from the draft and add some choice quotes and stories before turning in Draft 2. Good, good.

A Hundred Pages of Solitude

A solid hundred left to be cut...then actually I'll add a few more awesome sources I've collected in the past month or so, then I'll declare Draft 2 ready.

Draft 2

Draft 2 is on schedule for completion on May 14; circa 400 pages. Then quick additions, perhaps one more interview, some study of the sources accuracy, and then the future is unwritten!

Let the Mincing Begin

The cutting of the first draft is on schedule. Below 800 pages now. With finer tuning like this, it's easier to be accurate about timing.

40th Anniversary of "The Walk"

The Gainesville Sun recognizes the lessons the Walk has for today's politics. Will Twitter replace the handshake? Nope.

Like the telephone and e-mail, internetworking represents another low-grade communication tool. The door knock, the grip and grin, they're power.

First Draft Done

It's far too long...now begins the editing!!
