Workbook Progress

This week has been incredibly productive (despite my lack of blog entries). I basically rewrote most of the workbook, and as a result it has improved by about 90%. It is extremely painful to trash something you have spent a lot of time on, but in writing and business, I’m finding that’s the way it has to be done. Often a lot of the preliminary work is not what is published or used as the final project. So in a sense, the preliminary work (like my first draft of the workbook) really feels like a waste of time. However, it was definitely essential to do that work in order to really understand and clarify my ideas about what I wanted to come out in my writing.

After months of working on the workbook, I sat down and in one day wrote 40 pages…and those 40 pages were better than almost anything I had written before. Now I feel comfortable with the base and I’m working on tweaking minor details. Perhaps it will not be so long until launch…
