Editor to writer: “How’s the story coming?”
Writer: “It’s almost done. I just have to write it.”
Facebook comment from Timothy Hays: Like a great Michael Korda line. Korda, to ‘author’: “Deadline (fast approaching) is xxx. How’s your progress?” Author, pointing to his own head: “Don’t worry. I’ve got it all right here!” Korda shrugs, sighs, resigned to big challenge. http://www.amazon.com/Another-Life-Memoir-Other-People/dp/0385335075/ref=la_B001H6NKHQ_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1412519814&sr=1-11
