writing in public
Booksquare has a short post about Greg Sandow, who is going to unusual lengths to keep himself on schedule with a book he's writing called The Future of Classical Music.
Greg has set up a website which is subtitled Greg Sandow performs a book-in-progress. He's going to post chapters every two weeks for people to read and submit their comments.
It's such a delicate process, working with somebody as they write a book. I taught creative writing long enough to shudder at the thought of what kind of feedback he's going to get. At least the undergrads in my classes weren't anonymous and they knew if they acted out I'd be all over them. In this case?
I'd be pleased to be wrong, and I hope it all goes beautifully for him.
