I've been completely absorbed with "the book" lately. First, the mad rush of final edits and book design, and then the initial marketing efforts -- all on top of a full-time job. Now, the first round of review copies have been sent out, and the looming event of Christmas is the only thing to think about. It's been a nice and very welcome bit of relief.
With the new year, there are a lot of things to do on the writing front: readings and signings need to be arranged, and of course there's the next book ... but there's also a lot of other things to do, and my New Years resolution is to re-focus a good portion of my energy to those things. Things like: getting to the dojo more often, and/or the gym; finishing some of the bigger home improvement projects that have been piling up; and spending more quality time with my loving and beautiful wife.
