are worthy for <strong>the</strong>m to represent, would be an opportunity to<br />

get wise comment on that. Secondly, I am now aware of a new<br />

objection <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> critique form to <strong>the</strong> sheer size of ‘Doctor<br />

Police!’ at 700 pages and a massive 390,000 words. It is<br />

literally three times bigger than what <strong>the</strong> critique company<br />

recommend <strong>in</strong> that form, as a maximum for a novel, or such an<br />

autobiography that resembles a novel! A far older objection of<br />

m<strong>in</strong>e that I have never had <strong>the</strong> time, <strong>in</strong>cl<strong>in</strong>ation or money to<br />

correct, is <strong>the</strong> ‘Baskerville Old Face’ font <strong>in</strong> 12 po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> A4, that<br />

looks a bit, well, pokey <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al reduced Royal published<br />

size. The present book is, <strong>in</strong> A4, laid out <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> far clearer and<br />

bigger Verdana 14 po<strong>in</strong>t, which reduces to about 11 po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong><br />

Royal – far easier to read. I would now like to standardise on<br />

mak<strong>in</strong>g ‘Doctor Police!’ <strong>in</strong> its present massive, cumbersome<br />

form <strong>in</strong>to not one, but three roughly 300+ page books. A quick<br />

rem<strong>in</strong>der skim told me yesterday that it will readily break down<br />

<strong>in</strong>to ‘Disabled by Doctors’ – an account of 2002-2004; ‘The Four<br />

Helens of <strong>the</strong> Apocalypse’ – about Helen-Marie; and f<strong>in</strong>ally <strong>the</strong><br />

last third kept as ‘Doctor Police!’ Particularly as it holds most<br />

references to <strong>the</strong> police! In fact I will be standardis<strong>in</strong>g on<br />

Verdana as <strong>in</strong> this book and ‘Scientific Proof’ as <strong>the</strong> chosen font<br />

for all my books. My f<strong>in</strong>al change will be one I have <strong>in</strong>troduced<br />

<strong>the</strong>se last two days <strong>in</strong> this diary. Previously <strong>in</strong> this book and<br />

‘Doctor Police!’ <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se diary sections, I had one great long<br />

paragraph per whole week – or even two! Now I will have<br />

white space paragraph breaks, at least one, for each day.<br />

So, for <strong>the</strong> <strong>next</strong> few days or a week or so, I will be carry<strong>in</strong>g out<br />

a large scale revision of all <strong>the</strong> five (was three) books <strong>in</strong> this<br />

series. To <strong>the</strong> font and layout at least – I will leave most of <strong>the</strong><br />

criticism of <strong>the</strong> content to my new agent <strong>in</strong> a couple of weeks.<br />

Also, for <strong>the</strong> first time <strong>in</strong> a long time, I have quite a few dates<br />

of note to look forward to <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>next</strong> few weeks: -<br />

Monday 13 th July. Hopefully hear from Vicki of<br />

www.writersliterary.com accept<strong>in</strong>g my ‘Scientific Proof’<br />

manuscript <strong>in</strong> its present published form – o<strong>the</strong>rwise <strong>the</strong>re may<br />

be problems! R<strong>in</strong>g up <strong>the</strong> new credit card company if <strong>the</strong>y<br />

have not written and <strong>the</strong> letter does not arrive <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> post.<br />
