Quiet has fallen here, though the temperature has not. \u00a09 pm in late August and the temp outside is 75, the dewpoint 65. \u00a0And we’re heading into a week of high dewpoints and temps above 90, Friday right now comes in at 96. \u00a0This is the time when we start to cool down, head toward fall, this year, no. \u00a0As Paul Douglas, local meteorologist said in a recent column, “Mother nature needs to be medicated.”<\/p>\n
As things calm down and drift back toward normal, I’ll look at the edits the copy editor made on my sample pages. \u00a0He charges $20 an hour and estimates 50 hours for the book, so that’s $1,000. \u00a0That’s a lot, yes, but to put the final polish on the manuscript before it goes to agents and publishers, probably worth it. \u00a0But I have to believe he’ll deliver. \u00a0That’s why I want to check the edits carefully.<\/p>\n
After the nap today, I began to feel rested again. \u00a0The bee vacation has begun to recede though I did spend some time today looking at candle making videos. \u00a0The candle mold I purchased makes 8 tapers. \u00a0I also bought 100 feet of wick, so I’m ready to go as soon as the wax rendering is complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
