I just want you to know ...
That I'm suffering for your art.
In the past 72 hours I've edited my way through three quarters
of "Accelerando" in one go, ruthlessly hunting down and nuking
inconsistencies, spelling and grammatical errors, solecisms,
and stuff that just didn't fit. Doing it at high speed is
important; it's hard to hold this much stuff together in my
head if I take more than a couple of days on it, details fade
and I lose track of things. But on the other hand, this
isn't an easy book for me to work on, and right now I feel as
if I'm about to start bleeding from the ears due to future
shock.
So as soon as I finish blowing off steam I'm going to make
myself another mug of tea, drink it, and ruthlessly force
myself back to work.
