I have to write acknowledgements and dedication pages for my first novel.
Before I even started Smart/Casual, I used to lie in bed at night composing my acknowledgements. Just to put this in context, I used to also draft my Oscar acceptance speech, my Olympic gold winning address, and my rock concert introduction. The latter went: “HELLOOO <INSERT LOCATION>! YEAH! ALL RIGHT! Bones, hit it. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! <first number>.”
The acknowledgements for my book were more eloquent. In fact, they were a mastery of eloquence, running to roughly half the book and featuring passages of heartbreaking poignancy, sub-plots, themes, villains, twists, and character arcs.
Now that I have to write the thing, I am experiencing a mental block the size of Slovakia.
I have got as far as ‘Thanks’.
At least I have the dedication page sorted:
For Husband
I hope we don’t divorce

Some days, you’re just too cute!
Of course he won’t … how can you imagine it. Any other woman would quite probably be just too impossibly boring for him, silly billy.
Have to agree with Di – you guys were made for each other.
It was a variation on “I will love you forever”, but Andrew seemed to feel it was a bit too negative. I probably won’t go with that for the book. Now I’m veering towards:
For Andrew
[entire lyrics of ‘You are the Wind Beneath my Wings’]
lol
I just about pee’d my pants when I read that – you should come with a warning sticker girl 🙂
Andrew – there’s a spare bed at my place should it get a little intense around book signing.
P.S. Hunka – Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
Just asking 🙂
How about:-
For Andrew
Who has hardly ever made me want to barf
?
Sorry no time yesterday to comment; it was my birthday after all.
How about;
For Andrew
Whose wind gave me winged flight
? 🙂
