I’m still alive and have not got Burnout! I can’t believe that I have actually written my book. It was like a sprint, I wrote it in 4 days and 2 hours, nearly 30,000 words.
It ushered out of me like the Niagara Falls, and no I wasn’t trying to cross these majestic waterfalls in a barrel or on tightrope, trying to beat some Guinness World record.
Yes, there were the early hours and amazing people that helped me complete it (I must give the following people special mention, Ahmed, Lilly, Simon, Stuart and Pauline. No they did not write one word before you ask! It was my own work.
I was like a small kid waiting for Christmas to arrive, anticipating the delivery of my book to my home. I must have driven my publisher mad, by the number of calls that I gave him, asking where it is. What day is it going to be delivered? I wonder if he is going to change his contract wording…should he be brave enough to work with me again in the future.
You won’t believe what happened, it only arrived when I was out. And a card on the door mat, stating from the delivery company they had missed me!!!
Missed me…….Missed me……Missed me.
I raced to the local shop where it had been left, card in hand, like a mad man.
The shop owner looked at me somewhat surprised, “can I help you Sir”. “Yes, you can… I mumbled, handing over the card”. He duly went away and returned with a small parcel.
Saying it looks a like a book. I ripped it out of his hand and teared it open, I screamed it’s my book. Wow he said “This is a first for me” And indeed for me too! So head over to Amazon and check it out!
