Time for a quick update on the current state of play regarding volume 2 of "The Memoir Series."
1. Working title - done.
2. Plan of chapters and content - done.
3. Permission gained from Lincs Police - done.
4. First draft currently at 78,000 words and counting.
5. First edit - under way.
6. Everything else - still to do...!!!!!
As most will know, Book 2 will be covering my years serving in the Lincolnshire Police Force in the 90's and 2000's. It will follow a slightly different format to my previous book in that it will not be a straight chronological account of my experiences. Instead, it will incorporate some chronological sections, interspaced with chapters on specific subjects relating to the different aspects of police life, as experienced by myself.
At the time of writing, I have covered my training, and all of my time spent at Boston. I have briefly mentioned the Career Break that I took, but that will be covered in-depth in Volume 3 of the series (covering my travels and adventures around the world, both above, and below, the waves, as a SCUBA diving instructor). I am just starting the section relating to my time at Lincoln, and specifically North Box. For those that know me, you'll know that I've covered about 7 years-worth of my career so far - only another year and a half still to go. I'm getting there.
Then the real work begins - edit, edit, and re-edit until I am happy with the final product.
Once I reach that stage, I switch to "Publisher" mode where I have to format the book for the various editions that it will be sold in (each being different).
Finally, I switch to "Marketing" mode, and the sales pitches start...
