A Telling Off
Hi Folks,
When did the writing journey start and why? Good questions. I can’t remember exactly when, but back around 2002 I had an idea that I could write a book. “The Book” as it was called back then got to about 20 pages and I thought “Well I am sure I can write a book – I will finish it some time.” Those 20 pages sat untouched on their floppy disc (remember them) for 16 years. Alan had written a book about his travels in Spain which I proof read for him. After reading his book I mentioned I had the start of a book somewhere. Alan’s admonishment. “It is no good just starting it get on and finish it.” Probably delivered over a pint of beer. So I did and by March 2019 it was 484 pages on the hard drive and “The Book” finally became “White Light Red Fire”. Just shows what a good telling off can do.
