Tonight I finished the race preview for the 1994 Canadian Grand Prix. It took me some more research, since you may find a little surprise in this chapter, once you read it. Curious? Just wait and see… 😉
Started work on Canadian GP chapter
Yes, I’ve gone back to writing… finally! I’ve read all my research on the 1994 Canadian Grand Prix, and started on the race preview.
Some additional research
During my writing, this afternoon, I realised I needed some more information on the Île Notre-Dame and its history — 1967 World’s Fair and 1976 Summer Olympics — as well as some more details on previous GPs.
Much work to do
So, although I re-started work on The Encounter Down Under, I’ve still got a lot of work to do. I still want to finish chapter 7 before the end of the month, though.
Made several corrections in part II-a
I’ve made some (minor) changes to the Monaco and Canadian Grand Prix chapters, today. And I’ve added the updated version of part II-a to the downloads section.
Thanks to Mr X and Ferrim for their help on these corrections.
Writing time planned for this month
A few hours of writing this week
For the first time since, say, April, I have planned to do some writing on my Senna versus Schumacher story, The Encounter Down Under. I have 2 days off from work, this week, and have planned to write during my son Nathan’s nap times.
Several days late September
Additionally, since I will start my new job at the Evangelische Omroep on October 1st, and I have some holidays planned beforehand, I have a couple of hours late September, too.
Part II-a corrections, and the Canadian GP
First of all, I plan to do some corrections on part II-a, which I received upon publishing the Spain and Monaco chapters, and I’ll re-publish part II-a afterwards. Furthermore, I hope to start work on the Canadian Grand Prix — I had finished research some time in February — in September.
And after that, who knows? I’ll keep you posted.
New job, new energy, more writing?
My new job has indeed come to fruition. Starting on October 1st, I’ll be working as an interactive media consultant at the Evangelische Omroep, a Dutch Christian TV and radio broadcaster.
Doing some more writing…
I hope to find new energy in working at the EO, and find (or rather make) the time to get back into writing The Encounter Down Under. In principle, I would like to continue on the path I’ve chosen: a free e-book of which I’ve written part I and the first half of part II. My progress up to now dictates that I start on the Canadian Grand Prix on which I had finished research last Spring.
Get in touch with publisher again
On the other hand I would also like to get in touch again with the publisher I corresponded with, in February and March of this year, to see whether my alternate set-up has any potential to turn into a proper book.
I’ll keep you posted on this new blog location. Feel free to comment or ask questions: I’m happy to answer any of them.
