What Did You Learn While Writing Your Last Book?

Secretly, I hope this isn't my last book, but I admit there is a good chance this book might be the end of me.

I'm revising it, and it's a tough row to hoe. 

So I'm avoiding it.

By reading period newspapers.

And I'm learning lots of things-- like "Stamp Flirtation." 

I will never be able to afix a stamp without  pause. 

Surely, most stamps ought to mean nothing but "business." But what have I been saying in ignorance? 

I've put stamps on 

              upside down!

                     horizontally!   

I never was good at flirting.

Now I'm going to go and do some actual revision.
