What the title of this post says is true and good and quite factual to the best of my knowledge — which admittedly isn’t particularly deep, but I think I can speak on this subject with at least some authority.
Last week, two weeks ago, something like that — time is largely a blur to me — I took a gander at the edited-and-laid-out-and-made-pretty version of Stuff Every Husband Should Know (due out April 5, 2011 from the fine folks at Quirk Books). It looked pretty darn swell, if I may say so myself. (I may.) The illustrations are spiffy, the topics that made the final cut are wide-ranging and interesting (wrote more than we needed, so maybe ten chapters or so are sitting on the cutting room floor), and my editor fixed all the lousy parts.
All of this is good.
For the most part, the door is closed on this project. May have an odd to handle. Maybe an end. Maybe both. But it’s pretty much out of my hands at this point.
Only seventeen more projects to go.
