Encourage myself...
"I sit here writing these acknowledgements on my 25th birthday,having spent many long evenings over the last year pouring overschedules,planning and even occasionally actually getting somewriting done.When I first undertook to write this book,I couldnever have fully appreciated the amount of work it takes to putsuch a thing together nor the difficulties that would need to beovercome along the way.I started writing this book living justoutside London and finished it less than a year from my new home inCambridge,Massachusetts,having decided to leave the country in theinterim.Over the last year,a lot has changed for me both personallyand professionally,but I am supported by a great network of friendsand family who have helped make it possible."
