THE PREMISE

I’ve just added a new page with some of the material I sent off to publishers. The section I’ve posted is called “the premise”, which is my pretentious way of saying that it describes the main themes of the book.

Any feedback is more than welcome, but for some reason I can’t seem to work out how to let people comment. Hopefully that shouldn’t be too hard - but until I do, perhaps best to let me know your thoughts here.

    I dig the notion of a boom-bust personality, question your notion of psychoanalysis and am outraged that while being so heavy on the Nietzsche there is no mention of Maria Von Trapp.

    Shut your Trapp Stewart.

    Writing’s going alright - y’know. Working on that 23rd character - only 117 to go!

    I’m looking forward to reading this book! As with anything, confidence must be measured–there must be a balance of confidence and self-doubt, yes? Otherwise, the totally confident person would be insufferable. Still, I feel I could use a larger dose of the heady stuff…

That's me down there - the one in the shorts. This is my blog. It's mainly about the book I'm writing: Confidence, forthcoming from Bloomsbury. Some other stuff too, I suppose. If you want to know more about me personally (and see another bad photo) then this is the place.
