On the Book Manuscript, I Am Saving You Up

Posted by Bob in Bob's Book, Comment Responses on 11/06/2006

Kevin and Dave read my manuscript and got me past several weeks if not months of work. I am now on a complete rewrite they let me to, a rewrite that WOULD have taken me a long time to think out for myself, after several rereads.

Rereads are NOT fun for an author. They are particularly painful in the early stages when he has finished the first writing and must read through all the mistakes. He has to look at the lack or order he is going to have to go back and correct. Kevin and Dave have spared me that.

Soon it will be YOUR turn.

Shari and others have asked me for the manuscript. You are NOT off the hook. If you tell a writer you will READ his MS, he has a memory that would make an elephant blush, thick skin, gray color and all.

I am saving YOU for the rewrite I am doing.

Kevin and Dave have lost their virginity. They have already been introduced to what I have to say, so I need fresh victims.

You’re them.
