The Book

I always wondered if I had a book to write, and many others have tried over the years to convince me that indeed I have.

But I have resisted, it's been done, much earlier and in much better fashion than I could ever hope to achieve. But more about that later.

and so...My intention is to blog as I go, creating a journal of the experience of writing what might (or might not) turn out to be my autobiography. But we will see what develops along the way...

getting there......

Well, much progress has been made. I try not to think of it as a procrastination, but I did want the blog site to have a few things in it to look at - so I have spent the time and added some decorations and links. All about me, of course, cos that's what this blog is to be about, mainly.

The links go to other websites and bits and pieces I currently have online. And I've had to spend some time getting back into the swing of good old html, and xhtml and CSS2 and mucking about getting the pictures and icons and links all the way I want them to be.

I've done a little bit on The Book, but mostly still in my head, in fact I think I've probably written most of the book in my head, over and over, at least the paragraph headings - which could be a good place to start.

I think that will be my next task, listing the paragraph headings so I have some things to focus on. I already realise there is going to be quite a bit of research into some things, and I wonder how much my memory will actually provide.

Actually, no, that's not true, my very next task will be to do the rounds of my turningsixty blog blogroll and let everybody know where I am... there will be links to change, and lots of people to catch up with. I just wanted to get this place prettied up first!

The Book - first post

It starts here... I always thought that I had a book to write, and many others have tried over the years to convince me that indeed I have. But I have resisted, it's been done, much earlier and in much better fashion than I could ever hope to achieve. But more about that later.

I have done some preparation, I have studied the craft of writing, completing a course of editing and proof-reading in the fond hope that I might be able to earn some money to help with expenses in my forthcoming retirement.

My intention is to blog as I go, creating a journal of the experience of writing what I think will turn out tobe my autobiography.

But we will see what develops along the way...
