Shadowmancer 2

G.P. (Graham) Taylor was interviewed by Radio 5 live yesterday morning which saves me asking him the usual dull questions. The interviewer hadn't read the book but said it looked well-written on the basis of a skim. Cheek. I'll call him again this afternoon. I'd never make a journalist. I feel far too bad about intruding on someone's day, especially someone who has said in a radio interview that they never get a day off and write at the end of their busy day. It may add to my theory that all the best 'do-ers' in the world are so because they need less sleep. I'm a 'be-er'. In fact beer is a good word for me, hyphenated or not.

Two proverbs which help me through:

1. Never put off until tomorrow that which you can put off until the day after tomorrow
2. If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards
3. (Can't count) I had a great third one and I've forgotten it
4. Stop when something is good enough not when it is perfect
5. Still can't remember the third one though
