I want you to know I read this comment and appreciated it.

I have just finished writing a book. It took fifty-five months from its inception. Twenty-four months since I signed the contract, and I was thirteen months late. I have written books before, and this was a book on something that I am pretty much the only authority on (my own methods of working), but still it was a slog. This book is the last one. Never again. It's so overwhelming to me. I felt like some hermit building a church on an island.

I got the final proofs of the thing, today. It's a wonderful sense of accomplishment. But, no, never again!
