0:00.0 | So Bob, as one author to the other, I am happy to announce that I finally carved out a couple weeks, |
0:10.1 | maybe more, to finish my book on grief. That's fantastic. Every day I wake up and exercise and hang out with the dogs and |
0:20.2 | Stacy and have a little breakfast and have my coffee on the deck it's my perfect |
0:28.1 | morning and then I sit down and for the next 10 hours I sit in front of the computer and think and read and write and revise and marvel at how bad |
0:40.6 | of a writer I am but then feel okay about several revisions. |
