Project two.

Okay, so we know a little bit about the rock star/music project already. And some of you will already know something about project number two, but some of you won't, so here's the go. Project two is my publish a book project. Specifically, the aim is to get my last blog, My Year Off The Piss, published as a top-selling book. Hurrah. The thinking is that alcohol is a problem for many people, but because a lot of those people aren't (or don't consider themselves to be) alcoholics, they kind of just suffer in silence and try to battle on alone. I was one of those people. My story might help. But seeing as a large chunk of people do not spend their time trawling the web for random blogs, publishing it in book form might also help. So that's what I'm doing. But because I have a little habit of straying from the path, and because it's hard to straddle three paths at once while maintaining complete concentration (for some reason I am reminded at this point of an awesome picture my friend Kristie has on her toilet door, of a pyramid of formation water skiers, all wearing hilariously revealing pink lycra outfits.), for this project I have enlisted the help of my talented friend Jane. If you've been reading for a while, you will have met her already. She's the one who had an unbelievably cute baby called Arlo some months ago. And because she's a creative by profession, but is currently looking after her newborn, she felt like she might have some room for a little creative proj like this one. (Her willingness to help out also suggests she has a special, magic knack for baby management, or that she's a saint. Either way Janie, I salute you.) And so we begin. Firstly, it is a million times more fun to be actioning a project with someone else involved. Secondly, it makes you do stuff. Since my swearing off the booze again the other day, for example, we have both sourced publishing leads and will presently draft letters to present the proposal. Tiny steps, all extremely necessary. I will let you know how it goes. Speaking of leads by the way, and of projects, and of hilarious coincidences (which we weren't), in the two days following my saying bye bye alcohol, two more music producer possibilities have popped up, both of whom have also renounced the bottle. Crazy shit. More on that when I know more. And now I've got stuff to do.
