It is like a nervous tic. The publisher and I have emerged from varying discourses on the merits of dashes and the intransigency of commas when it comes to editing, and hurrah, the book will be arriving shortly at my doorstep.
My, my. Which means it is imminently available. I wonder at the channels publishing now takes with the book's journey as it goes out to distributors. Pretty exciting.
I have received fan mail. Also exciting. A woman has written from New York saying she enjoyed the audio book and is asking me about a certain hostel at the midpoint. She has already done the Camino twice, the last journey being for her seventieth birthday. How inspiring! She is readying herself for a walk from Lourdes to the beginning of the Camino Frances. So much fun, and why not?
