A Writing Life (Part 20)

I am almost at the end of the notebook I used to write this (forty pages on the recto). I know that I will make a lot of corrections and changes that will completely obscure some of the ideas here and lead to certain tangents that I never considered (the best writing is always rewriting). One of my plans is to (perhaps) break this up into several brief sections that I can then post on my blog as a series of thoughts on the life of a writer. I cannot imagine any publisher taking a real interest in putting this together in a book.
