Future retirement plans

[Tony uk]

Over the last few months, many people on the dialogue have responded brilliantly to my posts for advice on health and things to do regarding my (early) retirement. As a result, I have come up with a idea going forward. 

I have an idea, for possibly, writing a book, factual/partly modern historical, regarding an area of France that I have visited on many occasions. This is something that I have never attempted beforehand. I have plenty of material at hand regarding my subject matter. Also, I have contact details, of various people and institutions regarding further research.

I wondered if any others on board the Dialogue, had any thoughts regarding this matter. Any advice, for or against would be most welcome.

I think you are being inspired.  And it sounds to me like at-the-time seemingly disconnected threads in your life are now weaving together.  I think there's a story out there that wants to be told by YOU.

Many thanks for the kind words Manol.

I think it’s Stargazer who has written a book.  Maybe he will show up and share some advice with you.  
 

My sister is writing a book, she is a retired, occasionally substituting elementary education teacher/former English lit university professor who writes daily for an hour or two first thing after breakfast iirc.  It’s a deep dive version of one of her classroom adventures she would create to anchor the lessons to, which creation was something she greatly enjoyed.  Writing about something you love and catches your attention seems to be the key to success of staying with the project.
