Sophie & Stirring

Quick catch-up: I’ve been in the throes of revising and revising my manuscript, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony: A Friendship That Changed the World A Biography of a Powerful Friendship. Worrying about getting my revisions mixed up, I decided to print each one on different color paper. The original is white, #2 is yellow, #3 revisions within #2 are beige. Late last night I started the final revision but couldn’t print any pages because I didn’t have a different color of paper! In the middle of a restless night, I decided to use blue (Elizabeth’s favorite color.) First thing this morning, I got a package of blue paper. Later in the day, I picked up Sophie for our Sophie/Grammy time. During our chatting about our day, I told her about doing revisions and using different color paper. “So, Sophie,” I asked, “What color do you think I’m using for the final revision?” “Blue,” she replied. “How did you guess that?” “It’s Elizabeth’s favorite color.” “How did you know that?” “I don’t know. I just did.”
