I got this message from a guy in Plant City that is a Lionel fan.
"Tim, you have a book contract and a publisher waiting for your revised manuscript. Word on the street is your editor is gonna get steamed if you screw 'em out of a good book. Get 'er done, my man, and you will be rich and famous, and hot chicks will want to have your babies. Also, give Skunky a break, he ain't going nowhere. Get yer book done!"
I am getting yer done. My hard drive crashed a few weeks ago because of spy-ware and I had to reload windows. I lost everything. I am rewriting the book, and it is even better than before. I have hired a taxi driver named Richard, who has a Masters degree in education to help me with the editing. It is a process that you cannot put a time goal on. Truman Capote said that he never finished editing a book, someone would just take it away from him at some point.
TAX CAB RAW will be printed out later this week for my publisher to go over. It will probably need substantial overhaul, but that's the game.
My phone has been cut off for the last month because of non-payment. I just got it turned on last night. My internet will be cut off Monday or Tuesday.
No problem...remember...."YES WE CAN" ...."VOTE FOR CHANGE"...."600,000 SHOVEL READY JOBS"...."MY FIRST PRIORTY IS TO PUT PEOPLE BACK TO WORK."

Are you still a historian of history?

Dude, I can't wait to read your book. The publisher who picked you up was a freakin' genius.
