I printed a rough draft. To call it the first draft would I think underestimate it by potentially by a very large fraction. But it was exactly half an inch thick as a stack clipped together at the top. Which was a strange fraction. I imagine I’ll be cutting at least that much. But I just needed to read it, before asking for something else — that was the next act.
