On Sunday I reread MS of book A, and made such changes as I thought productive.
On Monday morning I worked on a new book B, which is due at Editor’s desk on November 1.
On Monday afternoon, having received (via US post) final notes from Editor on book A, I made the changes she requested. Read through the book anew and went to bed late. For bedtime reading read a book that pertained to book B.
On Tuesday, I worked some more on book B, and then made some Spanish language corrections on book C, as suggested by a pal who knows a lot more Spanish than I do. I also spoke to an old writing friend who asked me to read the manuscript of her new book. Said yes.
On Wednesday, I received the just arrived galleys of book D, and began to make such changes as I thought necessary.
Chatted (via phone) with new writer about clauses in the contract she has been offered. She told me she had consulted with a currently famous author who told her “I never read my contracts.”
Also checked the internet to read up on how to get rid of newly established family of raccoons.

Raccoons and skunks don’t like mothballs. I have used successfully under my shed, but out in the open, not as effective
Actually I caught two of them in Have-a-Heart traps, and took them a few miles into the forest. None since.
Informative and entertaining, as always, Avi. Thank you for the smile!
My pleasure.
