Welcome to Day 1 - D Day! Woohoo. This blog is going to keep me on the straight and narrow and help me get my book written (hopeful I know). So, quick bit of back ground, mainly to keep me clear as to exactly what I am trying to achieve here.
I've always wanted to build a house and write a book. Three years ago we began a huge house building project which I was, for my sins, project managing. We built a 12,000 sqft house from scratch with no previous building experience. Yes, it was a massive roller coaster ride but I would do it again, learned loads about myself, created something I am hugely proud of and need to now get it all down in writing (just in case we decide to do it all again!).
So that was wish one dealt with. I kept a diary of the entire build which of course is bits and pieces all over the place and I now need to pull it together. And so the story will begin. My book will
* tell our building story
* explain the technical terms and explain the building process
* give top tips and highlight the lessons we learned
* walk you through the entire build process
* give you the enthusiasm and courage to take on your own project I hope!
It will be a great momento of the whole event and something to pass down the family to illustrate just what a more than slightly barking bunch we are. This will also be one for the girls - we are all the wives, mums, girlfriends, partners out there who think we are not capable - WE ARE!
This blog will chart the process of the book writing, mainly to make sure that I actually get on with it.
And that will be wish two put to bed!
So here goes...
