I guess I decided to capture this process of the MarathonBQ for you because it was such an important period of my life and I didn’t want to lose it to neglect. When I started to write it down in September it flowed, well distilled and fully formed from my brain quickly and easily. Apparently this book was ready to escape the confines of my mind.
80% of it was written in a couple weeks. The last few bits of editing and dicking around with formatting, etc., have taken forever in comparison. I’d like to thank my friend Ann for helping me go through the first few edits. It’s hard as the creator of a work to reread it again and again looking for flaws. It takes a bit of objectivity that the author doesn’t possess. You can than k Ann for a few chapters that are here and a few that (thankfully) are not!
For now I’m going to get it up on Kindle so the world can have it if they want it. I’m going to make the rounds on the social networks and talk about it. I don’t imagine there is anything controversial in the content – but I suppose these days anything has the ability to hack someone off. That’s fine. I welcome the criticism and debate and conversation because that is how we as a species learn.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers.
Chris,
