What work exactly does Miles include in his description of preparation of a 30,000 word book in two hours?
He specifically excludes dictation. He does include selection of ideas and arrangement. He also says it includes "collection", but I'm supposing that he's taking a larger tranche of cards from a possibly massive collection and collecting only those he needs right now? Certainly the reading, thinking, and collecting work can't be included in this two hours of work.
Does he have a better definition of what he means by collection?
