Just because we wrote it doesn't mean we remember every word--that would be like a house painter remembering the color number for a job he did 2 years ago.<br />Sophie Perinothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034725608525210673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-71984073298749658412013-06-12T09:17:02.301-04:002013-06-12T09:17:02.301-04:00So true, Mindy!

(I'm really glad they're perfectionists, but...) Yesterday, I chatted with the bookstore owner who's helping set up my first book signing off our boat at the dock near her store. It's in July.
