I’m up for every kind of feedback.

  1. Tell me what isn’t clear; what you had to re-read.
  2. Let me know what questions aren’t answered.
  3. And yes, let me know if you find typos.

This chapter is at the stage where every form of feedback is valuable.

Let me have it!

Exceptional Networking: Get In Touch, Stay In Touch, Make It Count is a hands-on, here’s how book.

I have so many books
swirling in my head right now!

Everything else is the answer to the
questions that comes from this one.

And I have so much research to do,
(I love research!)
but right now I’m shaking with
eagerness to get this out.
(oh, maybe that’s hunger!)

Filled with gratitude for those of you who are reading,
and giving me eyes-on-the-page feedback,
here is the second section:
Stay In Touch

(The first 11 pages are the same as last night,
no major revisions. – well, check for yours!)

The link above takes you to a snazzy book reader thingy (that’s the technical term: thingy) If you’d rather download the .pdf file click here.


Stay In Touch – Making The Case

September5

The book is titled Exceptional Networking: Get In Touch, Stay In Touch, Make It Count and I offered a sneak peek download yesterday, here.

Today I worked on the first 11 pages of the Stay In Touch section. I’ll trade you a look for your feedback. (You’ll notice several changes based on yesterday’s comments.)

Click here to read.

Waiting eagerly for your thoughts in the same three areas  -
[1] What did you already know, that I can leave out.
[2] What is written confusingly, and needs a re-write for clarity.
[3] What questions are still unanswered?

Gratefully,  W!

I’m Writing, I’m Writing, I’m Writing!

September4

It’s Labor Day Weekend, and Veronica scheduled five precious days off on my calendar.  No appointments from Thursday morning until Tuesday morning.  Five days to write!

I woke up yesterday at 4:57, without the alarm, and set to work, in the dark. (My screen is lit, I know where the keys are.) Fourteen hours later, a solid foundation. More than half of the first third of the book is laid down. Now the troweling, sanding, smoothing . . . but before that

If you would like to play, [1]  Download this first draft.  (I can’t tell you how long it will be up here, but you’re welcome to forward this link to friends while it is.) Exceptional Networking: Get In Touch – Draft 1
[2] Read. (as much, or as little as you would like)
[3] Comment(right here, for God and country to see) - there is a restriction: Please give me comments in these three arenas

[First Approved Comment Arena]
Tell me what information was, in the words of my nephew Michael,
“Zoinks. Everybody knows that.”

[Second Approved Comment Arena]
Tell me where you had to re-read a sentence, or a paragraph,
because the meaning wasn’t initially clear.

(Please reference by page number)

[Third Approved Comment Arena]
Tell me what questions you still have,
that weren’t answered by the material.
{you’ll see *** where there will be appendices,
but I haven’t written those yet,
so go ahead and list every question now.}

“And what”, you might ask, “do I get in return?”
I need some real life examples in the book.
If you comment you’ll get press; I’ll promote your business!


Gratefully, and with no small amount of trepidation, W!
