Today’s guest Nick Westmore proves age is no barrier when it comes to writing the book inside you. Nick Westmore is my husband and the author of three books which I happily helped him publish on Amazon in my role as the “Tapping Book Coach.” As someone who published his first book after he retired in his 70s, Nick proves that if he can do it, anyone can! He tells us how he’s always had a whimsical way of seeing the world and finding humour wherever he goes. He gives us some background into his career and travels as an engineer and how this led him to write the book True Expat: Tales of an Expatriate in the Oil and Gas Industry. Apart from sharing a number of light-hearted anecdotes from the book, he also sheds light on another book he wrote, Village Boy at Heart, and the book he is currently writing about life in South Africa during the pandemic. Hear about Nick’s writing process, the job of independent self-publishing and the importance of getting help with the editing, proofreading and design of your book, as well as other aspects. Like he did from Caryl. Tune in today for some inspiration from Nick as to why you too should write the book inside you.

Tweetables:
“I think for me, the writing of the book, and the reason why I like dipping into it even now, is the fact that I enjoyed writing it. — I thought, ‘Well, if I could bring the same enjoyment to my readers, bring a smile to their face-’ that’s what really captivated me.” — [0:06:20]
“Basically, what I’ve looked for is the humorous things I’ve seen in life down here (in South Africa).. If you look for humour it’s all around you.” — [0:15:25]
“No matter who you are, you can write the book inside you. Go on, do it!” — [0:17:47]
