That quote is so very true in my experience as well. It is difficult to review at times because of regional, cultural and country differences in language used and pronunciation. Best wishes with your book, my friend. I'm hoping for some boring times in life~Debbie

Thanks Debbie as I said to the reviewer above you new folks are the ones I was hoping to reach and I needed to cover myself against reviewers that 'speaks' different to what I 'duz'. Hehe. Stay tuned. Re-releasing chapter by chapter, hoping to self-publish soon. I do have a lot of other stuff on here, but this is the one I want to get published first. I have a feeling I am doing it back to front, hehe.

I am honored to be part of anyones travels and feel that which I have not felt.
I have always wanted to do but I feel that it would be classed as fiction as there has been too much

Hi Barb, thanks for coming by. I know you are an old friend. I wanted to cover myself again all you folks (if it applies I forget where you come from hehe) that speak differently to what I do. Hoping to get the chapters out one by one leading to finally self -publishing in the not too distant future.

Life is not for the weak. It has too many curve balls in it. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words. Wishing you luck in your endeavor, Geoff. Charlie

Thanks, Charlie, you have been a wonderful friend over all these years and I count it a privilege to have you along. You have reviewed much of what is now being re-released Chapter by chapter leading to hopefully, self-publish eventually. I know I have done this back to front.Should have re-edited all my poems and stuff and re-released them and published first, I am guessing.
Thanks again dear friend.

You're welcome, Geoff. Surgery on the 27th. Charlie

Be praying for you mate. I did do a big re-edit of all the stuff you have read as well so it will be some different.

A very well-written introduction to your story. The smallest one always have to fight the hardest to survive and in the process get stronger.

Thanks, Sandra. I know you have been one of my supportive reviewers. We are finally, after fixing even Grammarly's stuff ups (even thought I set it for British English it still got it wrong sometimes) down to the wire and will re-release each chapter for final reviewing. Had to cover myself again folks who speak differently to what I do hehe.

I have the same problem English is my second language and I usually struggle with the tenses. Grammar checkers seldom pick that up when a mistake is made.

I am so glad to be at the beginning of a book. So often I've ended up somewhere in the middle. I look forward to taking the journey with you, my friend. Good luck, and happy penning!

Hi Sis, You have been through some of my autobiographical chapters before but now we are ready to go through chapter by chapter and re-release for one final review prior to hopefully self-publishing. Even found Grammarly messing up in spite of being set to British English on a couple of occasions. eg realize has a z in British English and programme is spelled this way in British English...but even having Grammarly set to Br English it still goth both of those wrong. Even in Australia we have a bad habit particularly of spelling some words in 'Amurrikan' instead of correct British English. Cheers and thanks for coming along, again.

Hi there,
Yep, I have to admit to hating the bastardisation of the english language personally! I particularly dislike it when Americans "correct" correctly written pieces. lol
Good luck with this.
up until 66years of age.
- need a space after 66.
Finally. let me say, this is not a fictional novel - should be a comma after finally rather than a full stop.
All the best

Hi, relatively new friend. I finished this late last night as I wanted to get it out before I went to bed thanks for the pickup. Glad to have someone that knows 'keerect' hehe English. I am not sure how much of my autobiography you have seen. I realize I probably should have got my other stuff finalized, before the Life Story but oh well, here we go. (Read back on some of my replies to other reviews for this Intro, I have gone into more detail about Grammarly being set up for British English and still stuffing it up! Chapters will be re-released one by one for final reviews before hopefully self-publishing. Thanks mate.

Hi mate thanks I did the corrections suggested.
Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Generalized version, this preface has a good intro to introduction to the upcoming novel, a book of author's life; highlights, groundwork, source, genesis and art or style of expression and thematic intro briefly expressed, though it has no good catch in the beginning but has a good summing up ending.

Thanks, my (new I think)friend. Have not met you before. I have finally got to the time when I want to re-release all the chapters of my life story. I realize* (*there's that word that Grammarly still got wrong for British English even though I set it to same. There was another one it got wrong too but seeing we, in Australia, are guilty of spelling programme incorrectly*, a lot of the time, so be it. *program hehe. Cheers.

I think Tammy or Malcolm, actually stole it from George Bernard Shaw originally Geoff, but well done, being Australian, I think I might understand what you're saying. I might write my memoirs sometime too, although events in my childhood tend to be a little hazy. Well done, my friend, blessings, Roy

Thanks, Bro Roy. Actually, you are most probably right about Tammy stealing it from G. B. Shaw. We are finally finished, for this edition anyway. I am going to have a shot at self-publishing. I guess you can see why I said some things I did in here. By the way, don't trust Grammarly for comma's or even if you have it set for British English it still gets some wrong!

Everybody has a different approach to punctuation, good job Geoff.
