This book is the last in the series and covers years 1994 to 1996 and 2002.
I was 20, 21 and 22 and my life was a little more...meh...and so much happened I guess I didn't have enough time to write, but I certainly had the ideas. I was legally an adult, technically an adult, but mentally still a teenager. With everything going on in my life I wrote less and less. Clearly the endeavour was waning. Or I just needed a holiday. I did start line dancing...

In 1989 I was 15 and started writing song lyrics. Why? Because I wanted to be the Australian version of Debbie Gibson, on whom I was also majorly crushing. I thought I was hot and wrote prolifically, although I started writing late in the year. I was also playing drums in my music class's end-of-year musical.
In 1990 I was 16 and out of school, listening to more, doing more, and reading more. So more artists were in my life and I was starting to...

In 1993 I was 19 years old and still living in South Australia, but then, what else was I going to be doing? 1993 is split into two parts as, well, I beat my previous year's record and wrote 201 songs, so cutting it into two parts makes for easier reading.

Some of that material appeared more recently on the album Hands of the Craftsman. That album formed the basis of this book: however, it includes much supplementary material. This includes not only historical and anecdotal material, but material that wasn't...
