Writing Diary: July 26, 2004
Today was a science column day; the column (on rogue waves) is already online below. Best thing about it on the radio today was that the crack CBC Afternoon Edition team had the wit to play There’s Got to Be a Morning After from The Poseidon Adventure following the segment!
Spent the afternoon tech-editing three chapters of a computer book; no fiction today, but yesterday I finished the final edit of Lost in Translation and sent it with the necessary ancillary material to John Helfers at Five Star. Nothing left for me to do now until the book is published in January. Yay!
Tomorrow: more tech-editing and hopefully some Orson Scott Card biography.
