Encouraging meeting

I met this last week with the guy whose story a fellow author and I are ghostwriting, and it was a very encouraging meeting. We talked through his original manuscript and how we can cut it down to the most impacting stories, which I'll then fill out with description and other prose. I feel like we now have a definite direction for the project. It also looks like there's a decent chance that it'll get picked up by a major publishing house, which will be really nice. 

Of course, that last little tidbit sort of puts the pressure on, but that's okay. We can deal with that. 

Now all we need to know is how much time we've got left 'till deadline.
