Diaries

The Elixir Diaries were once part of a magazine column (in Edge magazine), and are now available for download on the Elixir website. But seeing as I am so kind to you, and as it is such a pain to download each section separately as you have to do on the Elixir website, I thought I would reproduce them here in a more accessible format. You are also welcome to download the whole 28 chapters in .doc or .txt format.

REMEMBER: If you simply click on the link, your browser will try and open the file without saving.

I also have each and every chapter available separately. If you have the time, read through them all in order - they are very interesting, especially as they show Demis' thoughts and feelings while setting up Elixir.
