soooo.... i'm coming out of a 3 year-ish work transition - leaving sales consulting and Predictable Revenue (put a fork in me, I was done), to do... what? (if you didn’t see it, in Sept 2021 I posted “I looked away and lost myself”) 2021: first, i knew what I did
A lot of what you described really resonated with me. We chatted a bit on LinkedIn and I'm definitely interested in learning more. A few things that have jumped out to me (as I'm in the process of finishing my book now):
1. What 'not' to put in. As I've been thinking more and more about the subject area I keep coming up with more things that I could include... I've already found myself adding bits in, including a whole extra chapter. But I also know that it's a book , not an encyclopedia.
2. Strategies around editing - especially the bit where you are trying to check the flow of the book. Its easier to edit chapters in isolation. But trying to hold the whole book in your head is hard.
