And it's the second biography I've worked on.
The first one I worked on took about,
a year and a half to do and that also went through several drafts this won't be quite as long in terms of the process or in terms of the book length because it's got to be readable above all and also because in the earlier biography that i wrote i wrote about my mother-in-law actually who was a very prominent civil rights activist in south africa i
wrote a long book because a lot of her writing, even though she was also famous as a writer, a lot of it hadn't been published.
So I wanted to include excerpts of some of her writing.
Whereas with Scott, he's written so much and he's actually told his own story so many times that we have the luxury in a sense, or maybe the additional burden, if you want to look at it that way of writing a shorter and more concise and direct biography.
So that's what I'm working on right now.
And it's going very well.
And as with exercise, as with just about anything you want to do, Scott's advice was you do a little bit every day.
And that's how this is going as well.
It's a little every day alongside all the other things I'm doing, California Post and raising my family or trying to be there for the family as I divide my time between two coasts, really.
So hopefully I'm barely hanging on to all that and making sure that
The work gets done everywhere it needs to be done.
We've got Little League season coming up.
We're all extremely busy, and you have to basically schedule time for the things that really are most important.
So I usually write the biography first thing in the morning.
If you have something you really want to do and you don't want it to hang over you,
the whole day, just get it done as soon as you possibly can.
So I'm usually up really early and I'm working on Scott's biography.
It's going very well.
