Digging In For A Major Rewrite

(www.thegoldenpencil.com)

Most of you who follow this blog are probably vaguely aware I’m writing a book about getting your book written. It’s designed to go with a class I’ll be teaching and I’m getting close to the end. I’ve figured out what’s wrong with the exercises and I know how I want to fix them although I haven’t done it yet.

After some soul searching I decided I have to include a chapter on marketing books, even though I don’t feel like I know much about getting books sold. So I drafted a chapter a month or two ago. Yech! I just read it and it’s awful. But there are some things in there I want to say to people who are trying to get a book written. So I’m in for a major rewrite. I don’t want to do it. I can think of a dozen or more things I’d rather do… sigh.

Creating a blog entry kvetching about it was one strategy, but that’s done now. So it’s make another cup of coffee and plunge in.

Thanks for listening!
