Well, I was right.  The person I wanted to do the editing, is too busy because he works part-time and bounces around from job to job.  That of course, is unconscionable all in itself, and I wish he could get a full-time job.  He definitely merits one, a good paying one, like many people who struggle. 

I have asked Adam Gottlieb if he can do the editing for me.  Even though he is stretched thin, he is willing to help, great human being that he is.  He is an activist AND poet AND musician:  Notice the photo from Standing Rock where he was playing a gig.  I really look forward to working with him and establishing a feasible timeline.  (I said there wasn't a hard timeline, but I would love for it to get done before Christmas, so I can copyright it and upload it to a Kindle service.)

That is the great news that I have this morning. 

Now, I'm off to get my kids dressed up (in Halloween costumes) to see Great Granma.  I love her to pieces, but I hope she doesn't talk about voting for Trump, or I will fake sick or actually be sick.

Here is to exploring new professional relationships and getting just a little bit closer to your dreams.

Being an editor is not an easy job, I will tell you that much. I mean, if you think that editing other people's work is easy, then you got it wrong. It takes lots of skill and creativity to be able to go and edit stuff on the fly. I am hoping that maybe we can do something great with our next project, though. I plan to be an editor for as long as I can, hopefully, I can do it forever.
