Writing a book is hard. First I needed to find a topic I was passionate, and then to brainstorm and check if that is something people would buy.
This 'buy' thing was Gihan's idea. I wanted to publish as a e-book. But Gihan said, "if you need to be serious about writing a book, it should be printed."
I guess he's right.
I have set 3 month deadline for the first draft. That is January 12, 2014.

So blogs on this space will be slow to come. I am putting effort each day in to the book. Mostly it is about one page per day. Not bad, considering the 'writer's block' I had been.
My wife, Muditha, seeing the first few pages, said "go ahead". A rare spontaneous 'yes' from her!
She's right behind me on this.
Crystal was helpful, motivating me on twitter. She will go through the first draft. Thanks.
