John Howard spends a lot of time thinking. Probably too much time thinking. His long-suffering partner often asks, “What are you doing?” to which he usually replies, “I’m thinking”. John has given this a lot of thought and concluded that if he wasn’t thinking, he’d be doing, and as long as at least some thinking preceded the doing, doing would probably be better than just thinking. Unless of course, all he ended up doing was sinking back into thinking.  

The catalyst that finally set John off on a three-year voyage of doing rather than just thinking was a dinner party, a ‘Tipsy Dinner Society’ soiree, just like the one you’ll read about in the early chapters of The Cosmic Knot Paradox.  That evening, John posed a question (that he’d been thinking about for some time), which sparked a conversation that carried on into the early hours.  The following morning, John decided that he’d write a short synopsis to send to those present as a memento of the evening. Three years and one-hundred-and-twenty-thousand words later, John typed the words ‘THE END’,  finally finishing the memento for his friends, then thought about it and added ‘FOR NOW’, just in case he does any further thinking that might end up in more doing.
