Have you written a story?

I'm about the third of the way through my book and expect to finish late summer. Written as fiction but based on six weeks touring Europe with a band back in the eighties, if I presented it as fact nobody would believe the stories.

A friend has already published several books and he's put me in touch with his publisher who's interested.

I wrote three chapters five years ago when I had a contract with an hour's train journey either way. Found that a very easy way to write. But two children and no sleep later I have to work on the train to keep on top of things, but I hope to take it up again later in the year. No ambitions to have it published, but online might be worth looking at if I ever get it done.

Is this like a scrum story?

Was always going to write a novel when I retire but probably not.

58,890 drivel posts has a better ring about it.

I've got a brilliant formulaic idea for a novel - having analysed the bestseller charts. Think Alexander Mccall Smith but racier

. Will start that project asap
