The Writing Life
(forgive me Annie Dillard)

It's not as easy as writing! I thought writing a manuscript for a book was tough. I've been two years on HEROES and when I finally reached the end of the last chapter my sigh of relief could probably be heard all the way to the beach (60 miles away). BUT THEN the real work started...I don't remember how many hours I spent looking at every adverb, every typo, misspelling and the like. I can't remember how many hours I spent going through "The Frugal Editor" and now "Best Selling Book Proposals". AND NOW I'm being encouraged to simply self-publish the thing (see www.mattselznick.com) (not to be confused with David Selznick)...

I just want someone to read my book and be blessed.

Oh well...
