“My original book [Straight to the Heart: Political Cantos] was 1,700 pages. The first editor brought it down to 700; there was a lot that didn't make it in. But at last it's finished. I had a hard time signing off on it. And I was worried about it hurting anyone I loved even indirectly. I sat in my room afterwards for two hours wondering what I had done. I wondered about it being judged and if people would understand.” PeopleIfsFirstsHeartTwoBookHardDoneLastsPoliticalHoursHurtRoomsWonderPagesOriginalsFinishedWorriedSatHard TimesEditorsJudgedSigningBeing JudgedSigning Off Author:Angela Alioto
