Okay, so it’s been some time since my promise that I’d share “more later” about the re-authoring of my life that occurred via my 30 day celebration series. It’s not for lack of trying. Or reflecting. Or believing. Or having good intentions.
It’s that it’s just too much!
I’ve sat down to write about the power of this exercise, about the way it changed me and the way I relate to specific events and individuals or the difference it’s made in the way I view myself and the lessons that I learned. And every blog-sized thing I write comes off as paltry. Cheap. Like the vise grips I’m using as shower fixtures instead of having the damn knobs replaced.
(See? Cheap.)
Which brings me to you for some feedback.
More than a few people have suggested that this series be folded into a book. I won’t say the idea didn’t also occur to me about half-way through. And if it were a book, I could not only expand and improve the existing material, but I could do the summation justice. I could take the space and time needed.
Some of you have followed me diligently through this process and I’d really like to know your honest opinion: would you want to see this in a book?
A. Yes. Put me on the pre-order list!
B. Sure. I’d read it if someone bought one for me.
C. I’d buy it because I’m your client/relative/friend, but I wouldn’t read it.
D. No thanks. This is better blog fodder than book fodder.
Thanks for your input! And now, back to regular blogging!
A — absolutely A
But I will say this — if this is a project that speaks to you and you want to do…do it.
A!! i would totally buy your book and would thoroughly enjoy reading it
A—do the book.
Definitely A! (But that’s just ME)
What do YOU want to do…in your heart of hearts??
I have always found in my biz that if i do what I really want to do, as opposed to what I think others (ie. clients, customers)may want; those scenarios are the most fruitful, lucrative, and enjoyable.
A. Yes! I am now putting it on my read-immediately-list in excited anticipation.
B. Sure. I’ll read it regardless of how it actually manifests in my hands.
C. Since I don’t buy books as props to decorate the set of my life (that would never do), please see answer A.
D. It’s beautiful to read now in blog form; expanding on the insights/wisdom presently contained in shortened blog form into a larger book form will provide a deeper level of reading experience of benefit to all. How cool is that!?
E. Who is your plumber? Those vise grips are awesome! Knobs or not, turn the handle & allow your book to flow out! Thank you for the inspiration, Jen!
Thank you, all! I particularly love that you coaches (Amanda and Patt) show up as coaches! I promise I will absolutely do what I want to do – perhaps I should have made than clearer – and still thought it’d be interesting to garner some feedback. And Sue – could you be any cooler?!?
YES PLEASE. A.
Absolutely, go for it! It would be quite the process, but it would totally be worth it – for you and everyone who had the chance to read it. Sign me up for A and a few extra copies for gifts
