about me
I joined Authonomy a few months ago and uploaded my book Theo the Immaculate. I had lots of great comments and learnt a great deal. I also read a great deal; endless chapters of uploaded books and spent time writing comments on others' hard work. I found some brilliant stuff but instead of working on writing, I was just reading and reading, hoping for that extra comment to edge me nearer the top 5 ( I think I made it into the top 1000 and had to stop). It took over my life so I removed my book and myself from the site leaving only my shadowy profile. I look in now and again, but won't be doing any more reading. Sorry to all those who have asked me to read and comment in the last couple of months - I have ignored you purposefully for my sanity (and the sake of my three kids!).
