I am not familiar with the process of writing a book, supplying pictures and managing the frustration and pressures that may arise as part of this process. However, I love reading, and often purchase books for ideas, information and as a reference point to a future or on-going project. Although I model/run 16mm narrow gauge I found plenty of ideas in your Narrow Gauge Modelling book that I feel would carry over into the larger scale, I particularly liked the W & L Goods shed! For me scale and period are not a boundary that have to be observed, as there is so much information that can be applied to whatever scale, period, type of modelling that one undertakes. Best wishes with the new book and I am looking forward to reading more!linnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07351841371337384280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293175883157636914.post-37449079149370590992018-08-05T11:59:33.165+01:002018-08-05T11:59:33.165+01:00I agree with all your sentiments, Chris. Like you,...I agree with all your sentiments, Chris. Like you, I've (nearly) always been self-employed - wouldn't have it any other way. I love the freedom to do what I do when I feel like it - or to do sod-all. There may sometimes be a nail-biting famine or feast situation, but every day is interesting. And like Phil, I love writing fiction.capabilitychrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113353732870261581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293175883157636914.post-36420826223418434862018-08-05T11:54:43.791+01:002018-08-05T11:54:43.791+01:00Interesting point of view.

I'm much happier writing magazine articles. The subject probably didn't help, but it would need to be something I really care about to drag me through the process. <br /><br />On the other hand, I LOVE the process of writing fiction. Maybe it's something different from the stuff I normally do, but the plotting, planning and imagination required appeal to me a lot and I'm enjoying the work.
