I could write a book about that.

Author : Rod Edwards

I could write a book about that.

How often have you heard that? My mother's favourite phrase,
when something in her family background such as living with my
great-uncle Stanley in the beautiful Cotswold village of Lower
Slaughter, (just up the road from Bourton-on-the-Water), during
the Second World War, came to mind was, "I could write a book
about that". She never did of course.

However her sons, having heard this phrase throughout their
lives, rather took it to heart. One of them dabbled in a bit of
poetry and ended up as a music teacher and writer of music, and
the other, older and a bit more disciplined, went into the law
(lots and lots of writing, but writing books? not yet). The
elder brother soon travelled all over the world in his jobs, and
because he was so incredibly busy all the time eventually fell
ill. His illness led him back to tropical climates as a cure for
his ailments.

Having had some experience of writing numerous very pompous
technical legal documents for Courts all over the world, as well
as quite a lot of articles for newspapers, magazines and
journals when his various bosses asked him to, ("you don't mind
doing the article for the "Times" tomorrow do you old boy, I'm
off for around of golf with Mr. Justice....."), or ("I'm
supposed to do an article on Hungary for Lloyds List, would you
mind? Oh it's due to be emailed by 6.00 latest"), the elder
brother, having found his tropical place to live, thought to
himself "I could write a book".

So he did a bit on his book, researched more and more
interesting things and found that writing articles was
much more fun and the book would have to go on 'Hold' for a bit.
As it was pretty difficult to buy pens, ink, decent paper and
things in the tropics, the elder brother found that using a
computer seemed more sensible. It also corrected his spelling
mistakes some of the time, and as he was a bit dyslexic anyway
this solved a lot of problems (his secretaries always having
problems with his handwriting when he was a lawyer).

So the elder son of a mother who always wanted to write a book
ended up in Pattaya writing articles for all sorts of different
people. Some of them wanted to know what it was like to live in
the tropics, some of them wanted to discover at second hand the
dangers of the Far East, some even wanted articles about legal
and official subjects, however some people wanted to have
interesting articles about all sorts of things for their
websites.

He soon came across other like-minded people and they decided to
group together to take advantage of each others' expertise in
writing articles "on demand" and in a short space of time, and
many people from around the world started seeking out the
intellectuals who live in Thailand. This can now be easily done
on the internet, and the eldest son of an English lady and his
friends do just that. Write articles.
