I had lunch today with my friend A.F. Cook, author of Democrats in the Red Zone just to catch up and talk visions. I also wanted to hear her story of how she wrote and published her book (which, by the way, is an interesting read). We had a great time. I always love talking to smart, talented women. What she said to me as we parted on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant stuck with me. She said “Don’t procrastinate on the writing. Start writing.” Aaaargh! How did she know that I have not written in several weeks?! Oh yeah, sure, I’m “working” on the book because I’m collecting data and thinking about it all the time, but that is NOT the same thing as writing. The part of the book I’m supposed to be working on right now is “my story.” So I thought I’d start here and do a sort of draft on the blog. The first installment to follow in post #53.
