Sometimes it makes a bigger negative!

Thanks Folks! Yesterday I went for me bread at what used to be Walter Willson's,at Bedlington Station,and one of the smashing lads who own the shop now,was telling me that a regular customer who comes in often,is a publisher,with many books to his credit. Bill,[one of the Brothers who run the business],said he would ask this guy for his number,and pass it to me,with a view to getting a bit first-hand advice as well. I will keep you posted. Last night I started to Proof-read book one,which charts my entire childhood in detail,my birth-place,the things I got up to as a laddie growing up in the post-war years of austerity,in a coalmining close-knit community. I started to write book one in 2009!,and it has lain a long time,while I have been writing book three,[book two also having lain finished for a few years.] The amazing thing was,I got carried away reading it,from about 11-0pm,and next time I looked at the clock,it was 1-0 am!! I found it so interesting,it was as if someone else had written it about me!! I got halfway through and had to reluctantly put it down and go to bed shattered! How crazy is that! My Wife has suggested that it might be better to try and get the three books published separately, as a trilogy so to speak,rather than put all my eggs in one basket. Each book has over two hundred pages,and I have only just started on my life actually underground!![you have already read a lot of my memoirs on this site.....!!] My Wife thinks I will never ever get it finished,cos I spend what little bit of spare time I have, on me beloved Bedltn Com. site!!,[instead of just pressing on with me book!]
