I’m currently working on a new job, and should that come to fruition, I may get some more time to write The Encounter Down Under. The job is 36 hours per week, just like my current one, but with an option to do 9-hour days. This would free up not only my bi-weekly daddy day with my now 1-year-old son Nathan, but provide me with another day off every fortnight.
No work done
Alas, I got no writing done on my Senna versus Schumacher story, during my vacation. I did enjoy 2 weeks of peace and rest, though, which is worth a lot, I believe. I’m planning on starting on writing again after the summer, though.
Maybe I’ll do some writing during my upcoming vacation
I’ll be on vacation for 2 weeks from next Friday. I’ll be taking my iBook with me, and haven’t got too much planned in terms of activities. So maybe I’ll be able to do some writing on either the original idea — I have all the input necessary to write the Canadian GP chapter — or an ultra-short version of the entire story. I reckong I could write that without too much detailed research.
Contemplating on an ultra-short version of my story
Yesterday, I came up with a fresh idea. I’m contemplating on writing an ultra-short version of The Encounter Down Under which covers the entire story, just without all the details. This might yet be an interesting read, and serve as a basis on which to work on the longer version of the Senna versus Schumacher story.
Time to face the music
While striking another month off the calendar, and even the 15th Aniversary of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna’s death passing, I haven’t found a single hour to work on my book. I’ve been very busy with many, many other activities which require as much priority as attention, so I believe it’s time for me to face the music:
- I won’t be working on The Encounter Down Under, at least until the end of Summer.
That saddens me, because I’ve had a great time coming up with ideas, doing research, and writing my Senna versus Schumacher story. It’s just a matter of first things first for me, and I hope to be able to dedicate some more time to my story, either in its original form or as a prober book, from September or October.
