The downside of being an award winner,

 I upset a lot of people


You rarely here about the downside of being an award winner, believe me it can be terrible; I am talking from experience.
Before I earned my award for the book above; I had several contacts in the USA who were writers, after the award, I had none. 

We could put several reasons up for this, my view is that I put a lot of noses out by winning the award. For months before, all I was reading was about contracts, tours, and how much they earned, what courses they were on, and qualifications they had. 

THEN BAM!!!!!!!
From out of the left field, I earned an award, with no formal qualifications, no course - the only course I had booked I could not attend as I tore my left tendon they week before - nothing in my favour, other than a vivid imagination.

LEFT FIELD
Sometimes to say something unexpected gapened people may say that was out of the left field, what do they mean?
It is a term used in baseball; the majority of people are right-handed, so they hit to thier right, to give the ball power. If you hit the ball into left field, you lose power, but have the advantage of probably gaining ground as the field is set for the right-jabded batter.

I am offended again

 The lady is NOT my type Though I am olde, and have standards, I am not a stic-in-the-mud, it does take someting nasty to offend me, and for the second time it has happened.  As with the first incident , the offense involved a young colored lady with larrge breasts, I have nothing againsr coloured ladies, I wasbot offended by this laady asking to see my penis as soon as we chatted, it was a little weird she was so forawrd when she'd only been chatting a few minutes to ask. What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
