Writing a political book - particularly one about contempoary politics - can end up being a particularly challenging experience. The most difficult aspect of all is that the author doesn't have the luxury of knowing how the book will end and, although I didn't realise it at the time, this was to become a major problem with the book "Rudd's Way".
I wrote a piece explaining some of the difficulties I had as I attempted to come to grips with Rudd's story, for the ABC's Drum. It can be found at:
