Yo.

Leeds have just knocked Man Utd out of the FA cup. Why can’t Wednesday manage stuff like that? Actually, don’t answer. There are clearly many reasons why…..

Re the book – the first draft of Resurrection Men is complete, and has been/is being read by some willing volunteers (my mum read it in one sitting…..). They’ll need a few weeks to give me some feedback, and I’ll be busy back at school, so I might not be doing much writing for the time being. I’ll probably spend February half term making changes and preparing to send a revised version to agents (or maybe crying in a corner, depending on the comments I get…..). Then I plan to start work on the pantomime horse thing (see previous post….) some time after that.

I’mvery excited about something else, too; plans for a ‘cafe church’ are afoot amongst some of my friends, which would combine two of my favourite things: Jesus and coffee (difficult to say which has a bigger influence on my life….). I got inspired by the idea after reading a great book called ‘Irresistible Revolution’ by a guy called Shane Claiborne (. It’s all about living out a life that is actually influenced by Jesus and not by ‘church’, and making a real impact in your community. Problem is, it’s challenging – I will have to actually do something in response….
