Savant's new reviews today are
Hello from LA ... Savant gets a real weekend this go-round, and intends to enjoy it. The plan - pull out the old record collection and listen to something on vinyl. Should be fun. I don't think my grown children ever learned the skill of dropping a phonograph needle on am LP.
Helpful reader Dewey Webb has spotted a telling detail in Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte, and I've made it into a new footnote on the review. Very observant!
How come they keep putting the fun toys just out of reach? Gary Teetzel sent me this tempting webpage. It was like staring at an expensive toy in the Sears & Roebuck catalog, from when I was a little kid. But then again, it is a little too big to float in the bathtub.
I spent several hours this week reading old Savant reviews. It's almost painful seeing the constant flow of typos and just plain mistakes of spelling and agreement. Reading at leisure, they jump out like black eyes. So I'm forced to conclude that when proofing things before uploading, the part of my mind that wants to get the job done and move on, overrides the part of the mind that picks up on mistakes ... they become invisible. It's the only excuse. The right way to do this is in tandem with another writer, so each can scrutinize the other's basic grammar. But then we'd probably start arguing content ....
Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson
