So much work is going on with my various
web sites at the moment, mostly
Trails of the Spirit. I had scheduled
in adding a total of over 15 pages to this site
alone. As the design and layout was already
established it was mainly content required. At
first it was hard work then as it progressed I
found myself really getting into it. Around nine
years ago I wrote a book called
STOP which was published by Collins Press At
that time it was the same, at first hard going
and then I got my second wind, so to speak, and
the writing became almost compulsive, as I filled
notebook after notebook.
So I'm enjoying my writing again, like meeting up
with an old friend. I even invested in a piece of
software to help make the whole process easier,
especially at the beginning. It's called
Scrivener
and it's working out well. I find a standard
word processor not to be writing friendly,
at least to me it isn't. Scrivener helps by
having facilities such as notes and ways of
logging brainstorming sessions with lots
more besides. Having a program that supports
my way of working is great.
I've got to be careful I don't suddenly go
overboard with my writing as already I've so many
ideas for new publications I may have to give up
sleep. I think I already have as I notice it's
just gone 1:30 am in the morning here in Ireland,
according to my trusty MacBook. So apart from
writing my web content, my first printed
Book/Booklet is going to be, 'What you need to
know about visiting Peru, before you step onto
the plane!' This is the working title. I think
I'll have to come up with something a bit better!
I plan on having this completed by September 7th
2008, I'm about one third the way through.
If you'd like to be kept informed about the
progress and exactly when it'll be available, you
can always use my
contact form.
So on with my writing. I would like to keep it up
as a daily practice, but that's completely up to
me and my motivation. I've so many things I'd
like to do on a daily basis already!
