I’ve pretty much finished the manuscript for the second book.

I received two more submissions over the weekend.  I’ve edited the new stories and written a response to both.  I’m very pleased with the way everything has come together so far. 

I was at my “office” (Starbucks) this afternoon working on some of the final corrections.  I was sharing a table with a young woman who was studying something for her work.  We struck up a conversation and I ended up showing her the manuscript.  She kept reading it until her friend showed up.  “I love it,” she said.  I know this is very non-scientific, but it’s kind of cool to have a completely random person respond with such enthusiasm. 

Hey guys,

The manuscript for the second book is coming together nicely.  I received an incredible contribution from a Filipina who has had an abortion.  I’ve also received a couple of good stories from guys.  I’ve edited these recent contributions and written a response.

I’m about 3-4 stories away from having a complete manuscript.  Three of my friends have promised to send their stories, but I’ll still be open to other submissions. 

Please keep this project in your prayers.
