The trials and tribulations of writing my first book. A heart on sleeve account of the tears, laughing and happiness that has lead me here today
Early on in the week I was up at the crack of dawn and sat at my computer typing away. I’ve managed to complete chapter ten and submit it to Karen and Sheryl from Librotas. The chapter was a delight to write as it was about finding my first paratriathlon…
What compromises have you had to make in your life or business? In the last week I have blitzed chapter ten and pretty much finished it. It was a nice one to write as it was a very positive and uplifting one. There is excitement and humour in it,…
You have a goal, work towards your goal. Another really good week last week with the writing. Asking my book coaches from Librotas ( www.librotas.com ) to request my chapters on certain dates has really helped. The accountability for me is essential. My chapter eight was getting too…

I wonder if book writing is as emotional and draining for others as it is for me? After the completion of chapter six I gave myself a bit of a break from the book and so instead used my ‘new skill’ of writing to type up some parts for…
What music do you listen to when working or writing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIWkAdqFMOI In the last week I have finally finished the ultimate chapter six. This has been a big thing for me because I guess it symbolises a few things. I am finally coming out of the dark place and into…
