Publishing Excitement!
Today I received an e-mail containing the 112 proof pages for my upcoming biography of Carl Sandburg. What excitement! It was strange seeing something I wrote so long ago (last winter) all type-set and almost ready to be published. Returning to Carl Sandburg's world of biography, politics, poetry and music for a day -- even if it was just to write a two-page index, was a pleasure. And writing the nice comments from by editor, "Your sidebars are really terrific," was also a nice boost. The amazing part was that I did manage to write the whole index despite Gabo (11) being home sick. He was just nauseas most of the day. It wasn't until the late afternoon that I sat on the floor of the bathroom with him as he painfully vomited. He seems to be better now.
