It’s finished! I have just typed the last full stop (or period) in the manuscript of my first book. Oh yes, I’m sure there will be revisions and corrections before it finally goes to the printer; but it’s a great feeling to have drafted the final chapter and completed the main project.
The book? It’s a biography; the life of a woman who was born in 1903 and died in 2004. A woman I knew personally, both in the Far East and in the UK. Not a celebrity, but a remarkable character nonetheless. In her active years she was involved in the final decades of what used to be called the British Empire. I will reveal more in due course . . .
This is a beginning, too, in that it is my first blog. In it I will try to record the birth-pangs of my first book. Also my musings on life as an actor, photographer, writer and human being. At 75, I haven’t a lot of time . . .
