Spent about 30 solid hours re-editing 134,109 words of #4, "Kinsman." And on returning it to my redoubtable editor, Michael, I commented, "Unlike, I believe, many people, I am nearly always delighted to find
myself wrong about something, the more thoroughly wrong, the better and
more amusing.
"That admitted, I must have all the more reason to be happy today. I truly, deeply, and sulkily thought that this was finished, there was nothing important to look at again, what a waste of time and blah, blah blah.
"Well. Wrong again; gilded, bejeweled, and stunned-almost-silent wrong.
"All best from the nosebleed seats and no kidding 30-hours-in-2.5-days later,
Kathryn"
