mixed motivation...writing a book.

This is quite odd, as Ive had the idea of this for a VERY LONG TIME.

In fact, the concept for this book, came about 10 years ago, when I got into freelance journalism as i did a diploma in journalism, whilst having my first year out of university working for a big national energy supplier. I really lacked the confidence to project myself in those days when it came to pushing my creative muse, which was probably an indication of the crap id put up with from my father.

Anyway, Ive already written the introduction, which came to me at 1am a few nights ago, and have even got the chapter titles all "sewn up". Now i've got a mixture of "oh maaaaaaaan, I'd rather...! AND " right....better get cracking asap!".

Maybe its cause its a sunday afternoon, maybe its cause i feel a bit lethargic- need a workout BIG TIME. But invariably i WILL crack on, cause I've had some help from the friend the magazine editor, whom has been kind enough to point me in the direction of two very useful research tomes for writers, available online ( and everywhere else).

So whilst I await my cheque for contributions to the last issue of his magazine, Im gonna crack on..
