A Speccy Man Has A Breakdown - day 78
Like holding my breath
Hello. I’ve been quiet recently, sorry about that, because when a book goes to press it feels a little like I’m holding my breath.
Can’t do anything till I’m able to breathe out again.
But that’s nonsense, obviously. I can breathe just fine.

The first 90 printed books are due next week. Then I’ll pop them in the post.
Watch out for a few more emails.
Thanks for being here.
