I’ve got some really good news: My second book, Smart Sales Manager! has been accepted by AMACOM for Spring 2013 release. I have agreed to write 60-65,000 words by October 31, 2012.
Today is my first day of writing, but . . . Where do I begin? My office buddy, Ted Weinstein, is a literary agent. He ordered me to ”write 5,000 words” by today. That was a few hours ago.
Since then, I’ve done a lot of work. I made social plans to go to the Symphony in June, I downloaded my pictures from our March Spring party, I cleaned out my purse and found the hand lotion I thought I lost and even ran outside to see if it was raining today. It is.
What’s the deal with excuses and distractions?
Beginnings are hard . . . blah, blah, blah
My book marketing efforts must start now and I should be working on developing a strategy before I start writing . . . blah, blah, blah
My travel schedule will be crazy this month so I might not have as much time to write . . . blah, blah, blah
I need to research more, interview more, blog more and come up with more relevant content . . . blah, blah, blah
I need to hire a few more people to help me out . . . blah, blah, blah
There isn’t enough crunchy food in my office to stimulate my brain . . . blah, blah, blah
But wait! I just wrote this blog!
The journey begins . . .
