In my book there was no question. It just had to be so or if not then nothing at all.
It was a discussion we were having about of all things her new book. The existentialist discussion of the purpose of life and why we do what we do.
Her book had attracted a lot of criticism. She’d ‘missed the point of her own book’ argued one critic, as if that made any sense. But the book aside it did point out serious issues within her, which in my book were far more important than anything, she wrote about.
It was as much to do with the booking she got when the police pulled her up for driving over the limit, both the speed limit and the blood alcohol limit. From that point on it became clear that the book was a secondary issue and her own mental health was more what we needed to focus on.
The cops in their way threatened to throw to book at her if she didn’t mend her ways, her reputation as a famous author of books weighed little against the public good. So she took her last three books to the local schools and donated them to their libraries. They loved receiving them, each book was inscribed with her name as the donor and the author, she signed each copy and felt good doing some good.
It was a great awakening to her. The months spent writing her book questioning everything around her had led her to dark places and in the last few days she’d seen a light, life was simple in many ways, people became hooked on her book, read it cover to cover, engaged her in discussion, paid her huge sums of money to present her book at shopping centres and girl guide meetings.
From out of everything a new book was emerging. We all waited with baited breath.

An enjoyable book-story with some uses of book I hadn’t thought of — clever!
Well as the say an idle mind is the devils playground and at times there’s a lot of fun happening there…..
So, that’s where Mr. Beelzebub spends his days — in my idle mind full of sand.
Building sand castle and putting flags on top..
And, a moat of course, he can add water and . . . Do they still have sandboxes in playgrounds? Probably considered too dangerous and unsanitary now
I think there maybe are sandboxes in playgrounds they are not places I frequent all that often now days…..of course there’d be a moat to keep the unsavoury thoughts out….
Didn’t know if you visited with the gkids. I will go on the swings if no-one is about. I still love the feeling.
The boys have a sandpit at there place full of sand and miscellaneous boys things…😄😄
Oh, like “dinky toys” metal dump trucks, front end loaders. I image there are 2 sets of “miscellaneous boy things:” one for you and one for the boys.
Miscellaneous boy things also include bits of sandwich and things best not described as not even Barge the dog wants to know about them….
Good job, Michael. You can make book that this is a winner.:-)
Lol. Loved this, Michael. An author I know should be so lucky😂
Thank you Mandy I should think so….shouldn’t I???
