This morning I woke to begin my work at 2:47. Now that I’m nearing the completion of this new manuscript I’m changing my schedule. Instead of creating new content, I’m refining content I wrote earlier. By the weekend I expect to complete a full draft of the manuscript. Then I’ll begin organizing thoughts for a [...]
I began my day at 1:17 a.m. and made excellent progress. I finished writing chapter 23, which may be the penultimate chapter of the new manuscript. I still have a lot of typing and editing to complete, but I will certainly beat my schedule. It’s good because I have other writing projects that await me. [...]
This morning I began my work at 2:17. It was an excellent morning of writing, as I made great progress with chapter 23. It’s an important chapter, finalizing the story that I’m writing. Then I went outside to exercise. When I was 1.8 hours into the exercise session, however, I saw a large team of [...]
This morning I began my day at 2:47. I didn’t have the information I needed to write, so I spent the first hour of the morning working on plans for my release. That day will come within 10 months, I believe, and since I’ve been awaiting release for 25 years, it’s very exciting to me. [...]
This morning I woke to begin my day at 1:29 and I made good progress writing the first portion of chapter 23. Then I went outside to exercise. After my pushups and my run, I spent the rest of the day typing the chapters that I’ve already written. My expectations are to finish writing the [...]
Several years ago I read WHAT GOT YOU HERE WON’T GET YOU THERE, a book by a leadership coach. As I recall, the author wrote the book for executives who aspired to transition from positions of leadership within certain segments of an organization, like sales, or engineering, or finance, or whatever, to leadership of the [...]
It’s now Wednesday, December 14, 2011 I’ve been somewhat remiss with my blog writing since the month of December began. There is a reason. I’m overwhelmed with writing responsibilities now. Release will come for me within the next ten months, and I think it likely that it will come sometime between July and August of [...]
Today two men who were prisoners at the Atwater federal prison camp chose to escape. I did not know the men and I cannot place them. From what I heard, each had several years remaining to serve. The problem for other prisoners is that when people escape, administrators crack down on the people who did [...]
My wife ordered subscriptions for me to three different business newspapers. I read them as part of my ongoing effort to prepare for the marketplace that I’m about to enter. One of the newspapers is the Wall Street Journal, which I read for coverage of the national business news. The other two are regional papers [...]
In one of the messages I received from my wife today, she wrote that it doesn’t feel like Christmas to her. I understand the reason why. It’s another holiday season she will spend without me home celebrating with her. Carole is an amazing woman, so special to me. For the past 10 Christmas seasons, she [...]
