When this blog began, Bailey Tuckerman Kent was an 8-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog living in the western mountains of Maine with his writer dad, Rich. These are their stories.... and don't forget, click on most photos to enlarge.

Luiz and Bailey at UMF
After yesterday's UMF soccer match vs. Johnson State (Vermont) with former exchange student Luiz Gustavo Ristow. Exciting match with a 3-1 result to UMF. Sixteen Rumford fans attended the match to support Luiz and his teammates. Luiz played a terrific match at midfield... his distribution to teammates was excellent and his attacks into the red zone created havoc for Johnson State. Well played, Luiz!

Running Black Mountain of Maine's cross-country trail.
This morning, I finished what I suspect, and hope, will be the final edit of Writing on the Bus. To celebrate, extra BBQ chips for lunch and four Oreo cookies... then, a run on Black Mountain of Maine's cross-country trail with Bailey, the editing hound. Now, I wait for the final proof and the cover draft.

What we miss...
What we miss...the book came back in a pdf composite draft. I and a copy editor from the publishing house had both been over a previous draft a few weeks back. But when I went over the draft this time, I noticed that the typesetter had left out the conclusion from the Contents page and that the conclusion had been backed into the penultimate chapter of the book, an FAQ section. More than several eyes had reviewed this manuscript for issues--and we found some in both the first and second drafts. But a whole chapter being left out …combined with another chapter...? It just goes to show what most of us already know: the more we look at something we think we know—but don't—the more it looks like it’s supposed to be... Uh? Complicated, mysterious, and difficult... that's writing.
