• don't wait a week, start now
Happy Christmas! So enjoy the day, and tomorrow, but let's not wait a week for launching that new project; staring in on that long-avoided, much-dreamt about, work of art, book or ... you know the one. Just get out to the garage (don't know what that is? Ask your mom ... or her mom) and get on it. It doesn't matter how long you've been thinking, noodling, even already start3d on it—a whole ago—NOW is the time to begin finishing. It may take some time, but that's one of the few things in life we have plenty of if we... Continue reading

Jim, You are a wise and clever fellow. The new book moves along everyday!. Had a breakthrough about as month ago that is making the creation process less stressfull. Still a lot of work. Watch for the pre-publishing sale—priamrily to raise money to once-again, self publish. (I like the complete control of the book from cover-to-cover and interior design, fonts, etc. I do have design partners to do the fine work of cradfting a readable & beutiful book.
THis book will also have a surprise "twist" thast I think has never been done in the world of publishing. If it has occurred, it is so rare few will ever have even hear of it. It will jump start the book from the moment you begin reading. Hmmmmmm ....
Stay tuned.

The process of collecting wonderful and inspiring quotes for Book No. 2 (NOT the title) in the HATCH! Creativity Trilogy is a never ending treasure hunt. Here's one just added to the Cabinet of Curiosities & Possibilities. I'm trying to use great quotes mostly from widely known people. Knowing ...
Thanks, Jim ! Quite a range of good quotes—from St. Irenaeus to Bob Dylan. A few of my favorites and some I was not familiar with until now. Don't be surprised to see some of these in my new book and here on my blog—Tea With McNair. When I got to the longer quote in the middle of the pack, I was halfway through and thinmking, "I can use this for sure!" And then, BAM ... it was mine. Hah!

Thanks, Michael! I enjoyed the Skype Q&A with your staff today. Feel free to connect down the road as other "bumps in the parking lot" creep up on your creative interactions.

TIM , Thanks for your encouraging words. They are like a soothing hot latte, a big laugh at one of my stories ...the new book is"story-driven." Have great fun writing it EVERYDAY. Meeting with the VP of Production from the company that does the work of bringing my words into print.
My goal is to complete the first draft and hand it over to book designed and my Word Wizard editor friend by mid-Sept. (Will launch pre-sale campaign when I KNOW I have a book, finished manuscript.)
Then, too I will send it out for endorsements and get busy on the art and graphic elements. Goal: available by early Dec. in time for Christmas.
Meanwhile, I have to move (house being fixed up and sold.) Hoping to find a house-sitting opportunity to have a few months of free rent.
Onward, McNair
