I feel like a mole

by tylluanpenry @ Friday, 11. Jul, 2008 - 22:05:38

And before anyone asks, 'Well where can we get a mole at this time of night?' let me explain. The book is nearing the end. In spite of yesterday's post I am trying to keep a lid on all the new information that keeps popping up whenever I think I've read and researched everything I can get my hands on.

Yesterday's problem was all my own fault. I had been to Hay, the town on books, and discovered a book I have been after for years, Grigson's 'An Englishman's Flora.' I've heard about it of course, because just about anyone with my sort of interests is bound to come across it sooner or later, but when I read it I thought 'Rats! I've left stuff out!'

Only actually, I hadn't. My book really is the way I want it to be. So today I got on with finishing the final edit and then sat out in the miniscule amount of sunshine that came our way today.

Of course, I also managed to get drenched, as did the washing....:roll:

The book I'm working on at the moment is about the magical properties of plants... so you wouldn't have to be a wiccan in order to read it. My first book 'Seeking the Green' is about my personal pagan path, and is out now, published by Capall Bann. If you go to http://www.capallbann.co.uk and click on their News page, you'll see it listed at the top. :)

Please rest your mind. There is no particular book that completely covers the subject. There is an end to everything.

What's in the book is ever so much more important that what is not.

Please relax and feel more than satisfied with your stirling efforts.

Thanks, Skip. I never thought I would cover everything, it's just when I find more information I keep thinking I should include it. I have now made up my mind not to add any new info but to get on with tidying up the manuscript as it stands.

Tuning and fine-tuning are inevitable - it's the price of perfectionism. You just need to close your eyes, take a deep breath and draw a closure line.

It's funny but with my other books I didn't have this problem . The magical plants seem to have taken on a life of their own! But I shall be taking your advice :)

Can you tell us what the book is called and when it is due to be published? I have almost finished reading Seeking the Green and am itching to read book 2!!!

As far as I know it's going to be called 'The magical properties of plants... and how to find them.' I'm not sure whether Capal Bann intend to publish this next or another manuscript I've completed, called 'Magic on the Breath.' As soon as I know I'll post the info on my blog.

Glad you've enjoyed Seeking the Green! :wave:
