Remember back in May when I took a week-long writing retreat to work on my networking book?
Well, I finished the rewrite last Friday, and I’m very excited about it. Some of you have followed the saga of changes in the focus of this book, and I’m happy to let you know that I’m through with changing its focus.
For those of you who haven’t followed the saga, it started out as The Networking Trap, a book about traps people can fall into while networking and how to get out of them. I might still write that book someday, but that version didn’t come together.
Then I shifted to a more general book on networking, with a focus on how to develop your unique networking presence. People liked the idea, but when I finished the draft and started editing, it just didn’t work.
Then I started researching social media, and I realized that was what was missing. The words started flowing, and I realized that there is room for a book on how to mesh face to face networking and social media.
That’s the book I just finished writing. I’m soliciting beta readers right now, and once they have gone over it and given me feedback, I’ll be ready to get to layout and printing.
It’s been a long journey. Sometimes boring. Sometimes exciting. But I’m finally getting close to having a book published!
