For those who asked, the name of the book in question was ‘Writing To Sell’ by Scott Meredith. Last night I found a copy in Columbus. It was in a mall that I knew my way to, so I drove out there after dinner with Emily. A 1.3 hour drive there. I met my good friend Burt and chatted a bit, checked out a few stores (we made fun of ‘It’, or Segway).As I’m reading the book, I’m noticing something funny. I’ve already read it. About 3 years ago I took every ‘how to write’ book out of the local libraries in a 30mile radius when I was home for christmas break. I’m realizing that some of the notes I made about the biz come from that book, which I enjoyed over the others. It’s all coming back to me (deja vu all over again).So I got about halfway through the book last night. I have an hour or so tonight before I go see LOTR at the movie theatre, so I’m gonna go get packing.tb
