JUSTIN'S BOOK...An Explanation

I've been asking Justin to explain what the book he's writing is all about, and he suggested I post the following on this blog because he's "had many inquiries" such as mine. So, verbatum, here is what Justin has to say:

"Many of you have inquired as to the nature of the book I am currently writing. If my previous descriptions of said book have been vague, it is because they were meant to be. At this time, in my current beginning phase of production, I feel fervently that in order to maintain creative continuity I must remain unbridled as to anyone else's potential outlook of my work. I am sanguine that all of you will one day be absorbed in the fruits of my labor while lounging by the fire in your favorite chair. Nonetheless, I have endeavored to inscribe a portion of my memoirs soley for my own self-exploration.

I am not so cruel as to leave you all in the dark. It is my intention to record, with all possible accuracy, the emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of my life. I hope to cover my life's events from approximately my twentieth birthday on through my move away from home, my additictions, my accident and my long broken road of rehabilitation. I am sure that many events of my childhood, especially from my teenage years, will play a pivotal role of support as well.

I do not plan to write about my incarceration except to explain that it did indeed come about as a result of my reckless behavior of drug and alcohol addiction. I do not plan to sugarcoat the potentially disagreeable portions, nor do I intend to be self-aggrandizing. I simply wish to relate my inner journey as it happened. The good, the bad and the ugly."
