Multi-tasking

For my second book, I’ll sign up with a publisher for a six-figure fee and then I’ll have an editor, a publisher, a printer, and a secretary.

Meanwhile for my first book I am writer, editor, publisher and secretary, and my everloving other half is the printer. So I suffer a bit of multiple-personality complex. “I’ve got to cut this” says the editor; “Over my dead body,” says the writer; “Can you just get it finished?” yells the printer, and “The deadline’s looming,” says the publisher. The secretary files her nails and says “You know you’ve got 45 unread emails?”
