To all my dear blogging poets and other writers and friends,
I am taking a two-week hiatus to do some technical work on a forthcoming book, the autobiography of Fred Weintraub, who’s a fascinating character in Hollywood and beyond. If you want to learn more about his history with Bruce Lee, Woodstock, The Bitter End, plus many actors and comedians, visit his website HERE. I mean it: You HAVE to check this guy out! He’s a mensch, but he’s also bigger than life.
I will catch up on comments as soon as possible (just came back from vacation), but I’m so excited that David Fields, a dear old friend and the “as told to” co-author of the book, invited me to take part in this endeavor. I’m farklempt!
Will be back blogging again very soon, answering prompts and, as always, visiting the sites of those who visit me. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers for the completion of this editing with the integrity that Mr. Weintraub deserves.
Please don’t leave a comment to this, or I’ll just be farther behind on replies!
Peace to all, Amy

Is he related to Jerry Weintraub? Good luck Ameleh!

He isn’t related to any of the Hollywood Weintraubs, but his resume is IN-freaking-CREDIBLE! I feel privileged to help out on this project.
Thanks, honey, coming your way now. Ameleh

This is NOT a comment, just a prayer and a wish. You GO, Girl! Sounds like fun. And you’ll ace the editing.

Actually, Jannie, I did so well I may get more work, and look on your blog for an offer from yours truly! Love, Amy

What a wonderful oppertunity. Good luck, and have some fun with it. I’m not the least worried about your writing. Now I’m off to find out who this guy is.

The book is tentatively titled, “Bruce Lee, Woodstock & Me,” and it should be out in January, I think. Fascinating guy. If half the stuff he lays down is true, it’s a miracle he’s still here!!!

I think this is a great opportunity for you. Enjoy it, Sister 🙂

All the very best Amy. I’m sure you’ll bring your sensitivity to bear upon your project and do a good job

Thanks, Nadira. Actually, in a sense, it was more mathematical: Cleaning up typos and poor uses of semi-colons, plus that pesky word, “its.” Fun to do, but glad I’m back to the blog! Thanks again, and peace, Amy
