Well, after many false starts, I am now officially 19,000 words in to writing a book about my life. I find it easy to write once I get started – what I need is a group of people who will agree to nag me to write when I think I haven’t got time.
I have set myself the goal of having my book published by November 2011, at the latest. I am currently writing the bit about where I was in Borstal – interesting – and a lot of memories have come flooding back, not all of them good ones!
I haven’t thought of a title for the book yet, so I’m looking for ideas. I will be spending some time over the upcoming festive season writing, as well as doing a bit of carousing and perhaps partaking of a few glasses of red wine too!
The plan is to update this blog once or twice a week – so please look out for the Tweets!
Sounds very interesting .Our life experiences both good and bad are what mounds us as a better person.So looking forward to reading about you and all the “adventures” in your life.Jude
Thank you Jude – I am hoping that my many friends in Toastmasters will keep me on track with the book!
All the best,
Graham
May I with tongue in cheek suggest for the title to your book, “Frostbite”!
Thank you Ray! It was good to hear from you.
I’m hoping the title of my book jumps out at me from a sentence while I am writing!
Graham, I’m not going to “nag” you. But I do encourage you to keep up your writing, both for your own sake, and for the appreciation of others such as myself.
Gordon,
A little message every now and then along the lines of ‘how much have you written this week?’ would suffice!
Graham Hope you haven’t been too busy following all the cricket to put pen to paper over the last few weeks!! Jude
Jude,
Thank you for the encouragement! I am writing a blog post later today to let everyone know how the book is coming along!
