Um, OK, Jeff, you're a writer.
A little bit.
OK.
Hobby!
OK. Talk about writing.
Um, mm, I write, I think you, writers write about what they know. So, uh, and I
don't know much so....so it's difficult, difficult to be a writer. Now, writers
write about what they know so, um, I'm writing, I have a manuscript now about, uh,
um, travelling, the people, the people I've come in contact with and, uh, what
I thought about then, in the situation we've been in when we've met, sort
of thing. But it's difficult, it's not easy, it's not an easy thing to do. At
first I did sort of thinking, mm, anyone could do it almost if you put the time
into it but now I think it's very difficult, you, you have to be creative, and
it's a lot harder than I think it seems, to pick up a finished product, a book,
um, a physical book, or to take a book from the library, I think it's, you underestimate
the time that has gone into it. It's a long, lot of effort behind it so..it's fun,
I like it, but it's very difficult. But it's good.
