Possibilities

DJ,It's official I've got an agent. Well I've almost got an agent, haven't signed anything yet but YIKES, yep I did a little dance. However the practical part of me is preaching caution, I know that it means nothing. What I'm excited about is the fact that again, I have possibilities and I can speculate and hypothesize till my little hearts content. It was 5am when my eyes popped open, when all of a sudden I thought to myself I could get a book deal, I have someone working for me who believes in the possibility of a book deal. Last month I was worrying about whether anyone would actually want to buy the book. I guess this is the nature of having a dream and pursuing it like a headless chicken. Everyone says, how did you do it, how did you generate a buzz. Personally, I don't hear or see the buzz, [...]

DJ,Life is a funny thing. I've been struggling for such a long time, the last couple of months I've even wondered if I'd made the right decision to give up my job and become a starving writer. No one sees the toil and the anguish, the daily insecurities I'm riddled with. I constantly wonder, am I good enough to be compared to the likes of Authors whose names appear on the Booker list, or the Orange prize or any literary list. Who am I to even dare to believe that my name can be mentioned in the same breath as Chimamanda, Kiran Desai, Zadie Smith or Margaret Atwood. Then on the other hand I ask myself do I care? I don't know if I do and I don't know if I don't.If I'm completely honest, I don't think of Imagine This in those terms. It's just a simple story of [...]

DJ,I don't even know where to start. I've screamed so much in the last two days that I ended up with a splitting headache. What I call my happy head. It's not that anything major has happened, I haven't signed a deal or suddenly won the lottery. No, all that's happened is that my life has been filled with possibilities. I didn't realise that I was feeling despondent with my progress of trying to raise awareness of Imagine This until all the offers for readings started to come in.I guess I should start from the beginning. For the past week or so, I've mounted a campaign to do a series or readings at libraries. Pam, my sister-in-law gave me the idea when her and the kids came round to see me. Once term starts, she's going to speak to the Headmaster of my niece's school to see if they'd like [...]

DJ,For a change, my lack of post is not down to my natural laziness. I've been a busy bee and right now I need some shut eye. I'll spill my guts in the morning, or should I say afternoon. Needless to say, the outlook for Imagine This is looking a tad brighter. Nothing major has happened, I just feel more optimistic about it's chances, especially after the slew of positive feedback I've received to date. Bed and sleep beckon.
