Jim Beem Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 19 hours ago, slasher said: Ive written a book about the experiences of a group steelworkers as they hurtle towards the spectre of redundancy. It also tells of how they come out the other side with varying degrees of success, failure and downright tragedy. There's a bit of fitba in there (old firm game and Motherwell's famous cup win in '91). Its mostly about relationships, drinking and shagging. Ive had offers from a number of partnership/vanity publishers but to date I've turned them all down although one was really tempting. I won't bore you with the details of trying to get published but to get published with any mainstream publisher you need an agent. Not only that but you have to woo said agent...... it's not easy. The easy alternative is to self publish and that's what I'm going to do. I just need to redraft and some stuff will have to come out for copyright /legal reasons. I could take an offer but I wouldn't make any money and I really believe in it and think it could do reasonably well. Another factor in delay was the fact that a friend was supposed be adapting it for screenplay for me. He's kind of let me down in that respect after I waited months on him doing it...... my mistake 😞 I wish you all the best of course, but I‘ll not been reading your fucking book 😡 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Munro Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Letting the kids play the playstation in the living room tonight and the 4 of us are going to get a few games of sonic. Will crack open a few cloudy strongbows and a bit of Oasis live once they're in bed. Making the most of a shite situation tonight at least then need to decide if I'm going to let them see my elderly mum on sunday for mother's day.

I don't have any equipment at home though. I reckon I've another 2 shifts in the garden left before I'm kind of stuck. Not because there's nothing else to do but I'd be at the stage of having to get skips delivered, visiting b&q etc and that ain't happening. Maybe not quite what you’re looking for, but may get some links from it on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you mentioned this. My car has been parked for a week under a tree where birds nest. If I dont move it the car will be covered in shit pretty soon . We get caught out every year.
