Whew! It is 10am on Thursday, May 8, 2008 and I’ve just finished four mornings of starting at 4 – 6am and writing / assembling the book until 12 noon. Tuesday – Thursday afternoons are invested in client conversations.
It had been so long since I have worked on the book that I had to scrap the Table Of Contents. This was also because I have delivered the book in a way in at least 30 speaking presentations since the last Table Of Contents and changes for the better have been made along the way.
I have just finished a review of all the material and it is cut and pasted into the new Table Of Contents and the book is finished in draft form.
I was going to go forward and do the same thing for the Workbook part of the Book but serendipity has been at work and I received a great referral to a Book Editor so I’m pouring all of my energy into completing the Book and the Workbook will come next as I have an interview with Book Editor on Monday morning.
The next step is to go over the Book writing to make sure the contents is in order, build in sequays where required and eliminate duplications … just to make the best sense out of it for the editor and then the tough stuff is over for me.
The only challenge is eye strain … the same kind of eye strain that I had back in 2004 sitting in front of my computer for days and the end result was getting glasses.
The good news is, what I thought was going to be a summer of working on the book isn’t going to be as I believe I can get my end of writing the book and workbook done by July 1st!!!
