The passport idea is remarkable Adam ... Do we have to come and get you to stamp it before it is "verified" ?

Cheers, Aye, you never know. I might do that

I found a company that does that you know. I want to do something different. Creative. Not just a book that has value but the whole feel of it. Something that stands out from all books when you put it on the shelf.

So I'm going to see if the company can do a mock up for me and bang up here when it arrives. I got to see what it looks like. Not worried about price. I wanna get this done, so doing it.

There's something else too...
I started writing a book called..

"When I Met Bruce Lee.."

It's a novel and a comedy.

I have time on my hands as I've built things in a way where I have people helping out now. The novel is different than others I've written and I'm sure it's going to get people thinking.

In the story 17 year old is always watching Bruce Lee movies and everyone seen him as a teenager with nothing to do and will not achieve much.

Now, for me to write about it, I'm doing different and I got the time to. So, I'm going to not only imagine how he does it, but also DO IT.

Meaning, he is going to get the Bruce Lee training books, the lot. He's going to go through the training, so I'm going to too. Which will give me material to write in a way that is real.

And since he's not healthy, fit, and I'm not really, we're at a same level LOL. I'm going to create a new blog and document the process, but also give samples of each chapter of the book.

Plus, I might document the process too, video, blog my thoughts, progress.

I remember, someone did a book by doing it this way. He did boxing though and when he finished the book, he looked like a boxer.

Can't wait to see what ideas people working on. My character called ABI begins his life on Monday, and that means, I got to do what he's going to do.

Go to shop, to buy bruce lee book training manual.

What happens next, I don't know, as I always write novels as I go along and it worked fine for me doing it this way for other books I wrote.

Can I be the film crew that follows you around while you write the novel?

I am thinking if you are anything like me, you won't bounce quite as well as you did when you were 17

Yes, I am dredding writing this novel, I tell yah right now. My wife nearly dropped the cup of tea when she heard me say..

"Yes, I got to go to order the step by step books of Bruce Lees training, and.."
"Yah what?"
"Erm, why you looking at me like that for.."
"Well, you ain't ran for ages and (cough)..yah know, yah belly.."

Oh ye with little faith.

I may need to get that hand camera for sure cause if I get you or anyone, you won't hold the camera steady cause you be laughing your head off, as I try my damn hardest to do one sit up.

I can see it now...

"Adam, it took you 15 minutes to do ONE SIT UP!"
"Ok, ok. Keep filming.....1..............................................................................................................................................1 and a half..

P.S. Adam have you met Bruce Lee - or is this your bid to get to meet him?

I wish.

You never know, he may do an honour guest meeting just cause I written the book. Like those movies, where he pops up, cool and cllective and says..

"Adam, do not be the cup. Be water. For water flows here and there, and whatever. So be water my friend.."

And dissappears.

He was an influence though in my life, as I stuffed fish and chips myself, watching him do his moves. I think, that's as far as I got to mastering Jeet Kundo and his awesome moves.

This book going to be funny, cause I've got some really comedy script twist to it.

My wife was saying, if I will get Bruce to be in the book, as though he shows up but I thought of a different angle, and make it even more real.

Where he doesn't show up but someone else does - givin the message of true friends, encouragement, and heroes of today.

I've got beginning sorted, ending sorted and middle. Plus characters and plot. I learn in marketing to create a "emotional line", where the theme runs all way through story.

Sometimes, it's great to have the story, where the heroe doesn't get what he searched for, but finds a message and a greater reward.

And make it very real.

What's great is, it's better than a gym membership, cause I'm writing the novel, and I can't stop or the novel stops - so I have to do the training everyday.

I think I solved the global problem of procrastination.

Don't try and get rid of it, or join gym, but find something that you like doing and combine it with excercise.

Well Katrina, do you think you got your money's worth out of that question?

Some great tips in this thread for those who read it.

This was a great feed. I love all the comments and it does have me brainstorming like crazy. To be remarkable is such a true statement. I have been fighting like a salmon against the river with my MLM company.
They keep saying follow your upline...blah..blah. I know they have the time with the company. So I use them for the stories and they are amazing. But the moment I talk about the internet everyone is lost. I have now become the trainer for them.
I even had my company tell me that I am way ahead of them in terms of internet usage. So I will continue to push the envelope and see where we go. I guess that is also taking the ordinary and making it "remarket-able"
