Post by: vinni on May 15, 2009, 04:48:09 PM
i thought i would put  my memoirs together and write a book ,this is hard work having to do all the research on the match dates weddings etc .
i`v been attit for 2 weeks now and I'm still only on 1982 ,its doing my box in .any one got anything that i can use to get this done quicker .
i`v tried the thing were you talk to it and it types for you ,the thing did`nt understand me .

you have to get it set up to know your voice ,i`v been trying for 2 hours now .I'm taking it back to pc world .

any one got any ideas.
no piss taking please .

Or more simply - dictate it into a dictaphone - then hire someone to write up your notes.

This might make it easier to edit yourself - but obviously the notes could themselves also be typed up by the same person into a narrative.

if you can afford it, find a journalist, maybe off a local paper..and see if he wants to ghost write it for you

a few sit down sessions with him, tell the story, he'll write it up

do whatever deal you want with the ghost..flat fee, share of sales etc etc

jokes aside, good luck with this Barry, if you include some of the known poker players you will make a fortune through bribes for not putting their names in print
