No, I haven’t finished the Spanish Grand Prix chapter of my Schumacher versus Senna story yet. I have read all of my scribblings, however, and I must say that I really got back into the groove. The 1994 Formula One season is top of mind again, and that’ll most likely help me proceed during the next couple of weeks.
I did make quite a large number of notes and I expect to make some minor changes to all previous chapters later on.
First post of the new year. And my first post in the second year of my blog. In a way that’s sad, because initially I had hoped to finish my book somewhere late 2008. Alas.
I announced late last year that I planned to reduce my working hours from 40 to 36 a week. This allows for a day off every other week, a day that I plan to spend (a) caring for my son Nathan and (b) writing my book The Encounter Down Under.
For the coming months, I have planned this day off every other Tuesday, starting Tuesday next. I plan to first re-read my work for part II of my Schumacher versus Senna story, to get back into the flow, and I hope to finish the Spanish Grand Prix chapter as soon as possible.
And maybe I’ll post some additional excerpts from the Monaco and Spanish GP chapters to keep you happy…
With Christmas just around the corner, and New Year’s after that, I don’t expect to finish the Spanish Grand Prix chapter of The Encounter Down Under any time soon. I reckon I’d be best off just planning to pick-up writing for my Senna versus Schumacher story in January. And, as you’ve read, I’ll be working on the book at least one day every other week, so I hope to progress more than I have done the last few months.
Thanks to all my readers for their interest, this year. I hope to make everybody happy with part II of my book early next year. For now, though a bit early, I wish you a very merry Christmas and all the best for 2009.
From January 2009 onwards, I will dedicate a day every other week to my writing. I will reduce my working hours from 40 to 36 per week, and thus have a day at home every fortnight. On that day I will be with my son, Nathan, but he will be asleep for a large portion of the day, of course, so I hope to have some 2 hours in the morning and 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon to spend on my Senna versus Schumacher story. That way I hope to gather some more speed than I had the last few months.
Sadly, I’ve been rather busy with other stuff, the last few weeks. Basically I’ve been doing everything bar writing. I even went on a short vacation, but don’t worry, it was just Friday through Sunday.
This means, however, that I still haven’t finished the Spanish Grand Prix chapter. However, I have planned to write some more this Sunday, plus early next week, so I might get into the flow and finally finish the chapter. I’ll keep you posted.
