You know that part in The Unstrung Harp where Mr. Earbrass is making the ninth draft of his novel with clippings and a pot of paste, and he starts thinking that the whole book is terrible and he’d be better off doing something else with his life?
That is exactly where I am with Echwell, after spending the weekend gluing text blocks into signature layout sheets. If I suddenly take up goat farming, you will know why.

Ninth drafts are always difficult. Don’t give up now.

You’ll get there! Goat farming has its own appeal, certainly, but it can’t be as great as having produced a book!

NO NO. Don’t do that. It’s going to be a GREAT book. There are enough goat farmers already.

Sweetheart,
Didn’t you hear enough stories about goats when you were growing up to discourage this kind of thinking? Bite your tongue! Can’t wait to see the final product.
