from me:

I'm working on a writing thing and I really am rotten at deadlines and stuff. So if i have a bit of accountability, I'll do better. I share my plan here, you nag me occasionally, it's all good.
(Note: Get accountability)

OK, here's the plan. I'm going to release this new writing project in stages. Because if I break it into pieces, it doesn't seem so large and unmanageable.
(Note: Look to the next smallest goal)

BOOK PROJECT
(Note: Have some kind of plan even if you have to revise it as you go along)

Version 1.0 - Compile, edit and standardize the first 12 months of the blog, in order, with selected comments.
Format: Big PDF file
Due Date: April 15th, currently available for presale
If you'd like me to email you the 400+ page file once it's ready, you can go here.

Version 2.0 - New writing (before and after) as seen in the secret writing project snippets.
Date: TBA

Version 3.0 - Selected audio readings of some of the blog posts, with anecdotes, like a director's cut version.
Date: TBA

Version 4.0 - In book format, like an actual paper book. Holy.
Date: TBA

~

As each new version gets closer to being finished, I'll be able to update the dates. For now, just know that I'm puttering along.

My sober treats to help with motivation:
Take out lunch from the deli every Wednesday, flowers on Fridays, and a movie on Sundays. Or something like this. Sort of. Thereabouts.
(Note: Always have treats)

If you have ideas on how to improve each version let me know (ask for feedback). If you'd like to periodically nag me and ask if Version 1 is finished yet, you can do that (accountability is good). If you'd like to sign up to get Version 1 when it's released, you can do that here.

huglets,
me xo
