One more call with my editor and I start the second or third to last, last, last revision of “The Second Intelligent Species”. She said I needed structure to hold my readers. I think I’ve found it. I will need the help of several experts in their fields. Some fields will hold Amish farmers. Others who study nature like I do can give expert advice to make sure I am getting the science right. I’m hoping to be a little philosophical, so I’ve been exercising my Socrates at work in the breakrooms, I need to be carefull not to pull my Aristotlle; I don’t think that’s covered by compensation.
The winters here in the north artic tundra give me ample time to revise without guilt. Winter is the time to write. As long as the power doesn’t go out.
