I've got a mortgage and ...You're right, of course. I've got a mortgage and a family to consider and I'm not sure either of them would understand 6 months non-payment!<BR/>I have already sent out to NME, Uncut, Mojo and Kerrang! but without any success (or reply, come to that). Any other addresses you have would be more than welcome.

And thanks for your words - that is really kind of you. As for being brave… ah cheers! It probably helps that I am free from responsibilities at this moment in time; if I had children or a mortgage to consider, then perhaps it would all be a bit different. But I have always wanted to do this…so who knows! Where there's a will, there's a way, right?!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for telling me about your book, how great – you have a book out there in the world! And the cover is great, really striking. I am sure you probably have already done this, but have you sent a review copy off to all the music mags? I can probably help you with addresses if you need them.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-32063059009564185182007-08-12T20:57:00.000+01:002007-08-12T20:57:00.000+01:00Hi again. I've been reading your entertaining blo...Hi again. I've been reading your entertaining blog and have come to the conclusion you are very brave indeed to give up work to write your book. I never really wanted to be writer, but after being off work for a year with a back problem, I found that my head was brimming with ideas for a music book - much to my amazement, so I decided to write it in my spare time over about 7 months (I'm not as brave as you). I couldn't get any of the main publishing houses interested in it so went to an internet self publisher (www.penpress.net) and paid for it to be copy edited printed and distributed. They designed the cover and got the ISBN number etc. It is now available through internet book sellers but without any real advertising it is hard going but I'm hoping to sell a few copies via my website.<BR/>Good luck with your book - it is well worth it for the self-esteem if nothing else!music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.com
