Many years ago I was a professional writer, putting together episodes of Thames TV's "The Bill" for a living. Well, since Thames TV doesn't exist any more, you can probably tell that I haven't written for those guys for a long time. Why? Wel, truth to tell: I had writer's block. It was horrendous. So I set up loads of other business - computing, teaching English etc, and finally settled on rare book dealing. I am, by the way, an expert in early printed books, as it turns out. However, an event at an antiquarian bookfair made me realise that unless I did something soon to change my life, I would end up being another long-haired, miserable, sandal-wearing beardy git, like the other dealers there. And that was just the women! Last year I sold my stock at auction and booked on to a Prac course with Paul McKenna and this guy I'd never heard of called Richard Bandler. On my 40th birthday, I was looking at a technique he was teaching and asked if it could be used for creativity. "I've been blocked for 13 years, and it's a f***ing nightmare," I told him. (Are the stars necessary? Don't know the rules on swearing on this forum!) After that session, I found I could write again. It was amazing. I have just written a novel, I am writing advertising copy for different NLP and media companies, and am the editor of the NLP LIFE TRAINING Newsletter. Paul said he would change my life. He did.
