I am so excited. I have been re-reading 'Emospherica', and have found a few grammatical errors to fix - no surprises there! The good thing about e-books is that you can update the text and make corrections, then reload up to Kindle. But I am excited because I still enjoy reading it - even though I must have read it at least a dozen times by now. To begin with, this blog is going to be brazenly self-promotional, which feels very weird if you're a kiwi. We're not into promoting ourselves - we're too laid back and casual - maybe a little bashful too.
BUT! I think I've written something that young people will really enjoy reading - and now I'm looking forward to starting properly on the sequel; I feel my fingers tingling in anticipation! I am also going to print hard copies of the book - there's something about ink that is irresistibly tangible and permanent.
Let me finish by sharing a post a friend put on Facebook - I think it sums up my current state of being:
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." Steve Jobs
So now my planning job is becoming my 'fund raising' opportunity to enable me to pursue that which I'm passionate about: writing. Wish me luck!
