I finished the first draft, which includes the epilogue. I wrote to endings, both are similar yet I need to make up which fits best with the story. I’ll take it under advisement once I let the wife have a look; saying that though she won’t get it till I’ve sorted out as many of the typo’s and other mistakes that I made writing it. It also gives me a chance to look over the rewritten parts to make sure I sorted any inconsistency problems, I’m sure I got them all; I think I did though.
Before I go over the book again I’m going to have a weekend of from it. I’m going to have a game of Civilisation and put writing out of my mind, as much as I can. Especially Bublos so that I can look at it with fresh eyes after the weekend; this way it might be easier for me to see where the work is needed. As it goes with money at the moment I might to have the funds to publish this coming month as I had hoped because the social has decided that they’re going to put my wife and I through the same hassle they did over Christmas. This has the effect that I may need the money I had saved to see us through the coming hardship that the brew is causing. I tell you if I was to stick a needle in my arm filling my head with smack, then I would get everything going including a bus pass. Yes they have an illness but it’s self inflicted so I have no sympathy for them, not when I have to struggle because I’m willing to work. Rant over as I’ll just have to hope I can save somewhere else and not need to use my book money.
Was out gardening this week again, mowing the lawn front/back. Got a very large bag of compost at B&Q for £2.50, it was reduced because it was burst open. As I needed compost to replant my seedling peppers I just had to grab it. What’s left will do for other things, the strawberries when they also are in need of more root room. 70kg of compost for that money though was just to good a bargain to turn my nose up at.
By the way I thought I would like you to see the synopsis for the back of the book:
In the book of Revelation it mentions a scroll with seven seals. What if this scroll was hidden on earth? When an old man dies in Liverpool his flat is emptied by Joe and his friends and a strange looking book comes into Joe’s keeping. Soon he finds what trouble comes with the book when he watches his friend Toby being tortured then killed before his eyes. A man he recently met rescues him from possibly the same fate. Soon he finds out the man that saved him is more than just a man and that those that are after him aren’t what they appear to be. Demons and Angels don’t really exist yet Joe now knows they do and the book mustn’t fall to the wrong side or it may spell the end of everything.

Calum has me helping him build a table in his bedroom for his computer. We’re using some old kitchen worktops for the project. The table he has is no longer able to carry the weight of the mountain of stuff he keeps on it. I won’t even try to list the stuff he has. Actually I don’t even think I can identify most of it. A bit like the rest of his room. Being almost eighteen you can imagine what I mean. Anyways we were off to B&Q today to get some brackets for the project which I had to pay for.
I got my revenge though as I forced him to walk all the way there and back. On the way home though he was struggling making me feel a little guilty but he needs the exercise. He always says he hasn’t the money to go to the fitness centre. I keep telling him he could just go for a walk. That never cuts it with him though. Hopefully though the walk did him some good. I doubt that he’ll take up walking to get to places. No the bus is still to convenient.
Tomorrow we will begin the real work of drilling the wall to fit the back supports for his fitted desk. I want to paint the whole thing with metallic paint but Calum isn’t for it. He’s happy to leave it as is. I think that it will look cheap, like a bit of a bodge. Mind it is Calum that will be using it so it is really up to him how he wants it, isn’t it?
