Hi George. Loved this piece not only because of the writing but because I’m going through much of the same processes as I work on a personal memoir. Trouble is, it’s lengthening the book! Been a long time since we toured the SNL MPP facilities. I’ve given up that gig now, as of 2.28.11, with commensurate loss of revenues. It gives me time for my own writing, but I miss working with the creative sci/tech crowd.

Hi George, That was such a beautiful description of the process of writing, as you practice it. I’ve heard you speak so many hours on Blogging heads, but haven’t read any of your books. After reading that lovely bit of writing above, I’m looking forward to getting your book when it comes out. Thank you so much, and thank you also for all the delightful hours of conversation on Bloggingheads TV. I listen to the conversations again and again. What a pleasure they are!

Hi George, this is a beautiful snapshot of the writing process. Thank you for posting it. I’m always partial to works that show, in part, the authors reporting process. For example, David Quammen often writes a little about how he comes to know what he does. As a reader, I like the feeling of learning along with the narrator. I look forward to reading your finished work.
