I just finished the preliminary stage of my book, A Bad Lad in Costa Rica. This stage was, basically, transcribing the contents of my hand-written journal into a computer document. It took a while, there's about 15,000 words. The journal section of the book is going to remain unedited, grammatical errors, swear words and misinformed judgments, all in their natural form. It's funny looking back at the things I wrote, because there are some pretty harsh comments about the country itself and some of the people in it. But, as I will explain in the book, much of the journal is subject to my mental state at the time, and editing it for correctness or fairness would detract from the authenticity.
So I'm following through on my goal. Feels weird.
