Working

Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, sign post

Nearly finished reading volume 6. On several occasions while editing I have had the thought, "Who wrote this?" So much has changed since five was written and six started, a lot of time has passed. Now, with the perspective of time, and having read through two volumes, I cannot avoid seeing that what I wrote is not what I ever would have said or thought about saying. That's another way of expressing how continually amazed I am at the differences between what we write and what we say. Who wrote those books? And not only five and six. All of them.What part of me wrote those books? I could expostulate on the circumstances of that time, but that would just be window dressing.

I know the books of this series will serve a purpose, for they are the stuff of life. Maybe I will find out who wrote them when work resumes on volume six.
