I had a vague idea of why, but even though I work in the garden, I didn't know all those little details. When my authors asked me, just like a parent speaking to a child, I would answer, "Because, I said so!" - :-) No, I really didn't do that, but I didn't have as thorough an answer as you gave.

Whoever talked about a gestation period for a book hit it right on. But I also like to think of the book as the baby being delivered and TWRP as the nanny who nurtures it and helps it grow to a healthy child. I am blessed with the most fantastic editors and I know I'm not the only one who thinks TWRP nurtures their authors well. A TWRP book is a quality item BECAUSE all those unseen people are nurturing it and caring for it, and to all of you I say a big THANK YOU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-4919077554028273862012-05-21T14:20:16.927-04:002012-05-21T14:20:16.927-04:00Thank you for sharing this process.
