My most humble apologies for the distinct lack of entries of late. I've been incredible busy with one thing and another, but instead of giving you some wishy-washy excuses, I'm just going to tell you what I've been doing.
I just returned from a fleeting trip back home to England. The jet lag has finally worn off, so as I promised myself, I am writing this entry. England was great. I caught up with friends, family and digested large quantities of carbohydrates, alcohol and froze my pampered Californian bum off. It was a wonderful trip because even though I didn't actually do any writing, it gave me some quality thinking time and it helped me work through some issues with the book. I also had a cracking idea for my next book, so it was 7 days well spent I think.
Now I'm back home, I'm working hard on the final edit for This Thirtysomething Life: A Diary. It's getting close which is both scary and exciting. Now it's almost ready to be let loose upon the world, I'm suddenly terrified that everyone is going to think, what a load of old shit. What if I've been deluding myself all these years that I have some talent, when in fact I'm like the literary equivalent of Westlife or worse, Brother Beyond (I'm showing my age there). I suppose it's inevitable. I just hope you all like it.
After this last edit, I will turn my book over to my long-term editor Kristin (the advantages of having a teacher as a wife). She will put her red pen to work, before it comes back to me for the final read through and them I'm done. I'm hoping it will be ready in March, so get ready for some serious giggles!
With regard the blog, I'm hoping to write the last two episodes of David Burrows Office Man soon, as well as some further bits and pieces about my novel.
I hope this entry finds you all happy and healthy. I hope it won't be so long again.
Here's some music to keep you going.
Blog soon x
