ok, so i am in the process of taking a book from o.c.r. to finished product in a few days, all by my lonesome, and documenting it, and none of you has a single word to say about it? why does this not surprise me? you'll jabber back and forth all day and night if you think it's all "a matter of opinion", but once you are confronted with cold hard facts, you clam up just like... well, just like a clam... no wonder i don't take most of you seriously. have a nice weekend. :+) hey, maybe i'll see you at the beach! ;+) -bowerbird p.s. oh and, if my pace is too leisurely for you, i did a book a few years back in just _one_hour_, and documented that, in a series of posts to the "bookpeople" listserve that you'll still find online. in my old age, i've decided to slow down a little, to smell the roses... and make fun of the clams...
