Apparently this old chestnut from 2009 is back on the market. A compelling story of me saying **** off to the world for my own reasons and leaving London to go back to my roots in Sussex doing what I love and living on my own terms with no schedule, a few deadlines (book stuff), but really enjoying life to the max.
It received a bit of criticism, mainly because I wasn’t doing it in a Waldon esqe, crusty, survivalist way. However it did recieve a lot of praise from the people that got it. So thankful to those that have read it. It is a strange thing to throw packaged words into the world that engages them.
Foundations are so important as are backstories. Build it. What I do now with HGC would not exist if I’d never taken a jump off a cliff and hoped for a soft landing. Been rocky along the way, but hey, it’s so worth it. Have the biggest respect for those around you and encourage you, have no time for the naysayers. Ps. Writing books is a hard thing when you are dyslexic. That’s why editors are good people.
