Your writing is fun to read, has an original style, is more human than most other guitar-related prose I've read and has an effortless charm about it that betrays a deep wisdom in craftsmanship. I have no idea what you're like personally, whether we'd be friends if cohabitating the same town. But I'd be a best friend to your book if you were ever willing to publish it. I'm certain others would be too.

+1! A smart editor with some time on their hands could put together an amazing book from your informal posts here. That someone has discouraged you from moving forward with your manuscript blows my mind. I think you should reconsider.
