I never want to go back to the days of pen and ink. Or worse yet, stone and chisel.

I recently completed my first book for publication – and yes, when it hits the shelves I’ll post a blatant commercial vanity.
I have been working on the book for several years, with the last year being intense. Rewrite the rewrite of the rewrite I rewrote. Thank God for the word processor! I often thought of what people had to go through with manual typewriters – and even harder, pen and ink.

Several years ago there was a wonderful little New Yorker cartoon. These two guys were standing in front of a book store window and marveling at a copy of Tolstoy's War and Peace. One of them said to the other, "Imagine, he did it all without a word processor." Good luck with your book. I hope it's a best seller.
