CLIMBING MOUNT EVEREST — by Steve Nadis
Time to pop the champagne bottles. I’ve just written the first four sections of my book–the writing of which is frequently compared to the scaling of Mount Everest. (Sir Edmund, if I’m not mistaken, used to speak of this often.) Four out of 20, that’s not bad right? Except they’re all really short, not full chapters, just ancillary material–kind of like bookends. So it’s really only about 5% of the total word count I’m supposed to supply. Still 5% isn’t so bad right? It just means I have 95% left to go. But wait a minute, 95%? Holy shit, that’s a lot. Umm, never mind. I guess you can put the corks back in for now. Can’t get em back in? Well, sorry, I guess the next one’s on me.
