Another rainy day


Today was a very dull day. The rain has been falling since 3 in the afternoon, first just spattering and spitting and now as darkness has started to fall the whole scene outside the window is bleak.

I've been thinking about another idea for a book. This one is pretty bizarre but has real potential. If you like Patrick Lencioni's work, or have a soft spot for Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance then you'll be somewhere along the road to what I have in mind. A couple of years back I had the good fortune to meet Espen Holm in person and he certainly made me think about some creative ways to deliver heavy subjects into the wider world.

I don't know anything about Erma Bombeck but I came across something she wrote last week that stunned me. I'm going to try and find out something about who she was and what she did. I'm sure I can take some time out of my busy Russian Oil & Gas research to do that.

I had a terrifying flashforward this morning. Put simply this is the opposite of a flashback. The scene contained extreme disappointment. It was not a good feeling. Tonight I will write to safeguard against the vision coming true.
