Frightened

I'm currently proofreading UNEXPECTEDLY, MILO.  This is my last chance to make changes, and they cannot be big ones.  A word here or a word there at most.  Everything else is pretty much set in stone. 

It's an unnerving process for me.  Walt Whitman once famously said that a poem isn't finished until the poet is dead, but once my book is proofread, it's done, whether I like it or not.

No going back. 

On page two, I found the the following descriptor:

"…sweating uncontrollably"
