Feb 22, 2005 8:32 am		I'm finally, finally, finally finished writing my book!!!
Denise Michaels		It's been more than three years in the making but I finally did it. My book, "Testosterone Free Marketing: The Yin and Yang of Marketing for Women" is finally finished. For the last couple months I've been saying my book is done - and it was really close - but there were little niggling details that were still unfinished. I was saying that because I wanted to affirm the positive - y'know, practise the future. But I felt like I was out of integrity every time I said it. And because I've been working on the book for such a long time people asking me, "Have you finished your book yet?" has gotten to be an almost painful question to hear. Last month Ernie and I went away for a long weekend to a Victorian B&B in the Southern mountains of Utah. I worked tirelessly on the book in this beautiful, relaxing environment - even stayed a fourth night to give me more time - but alas and alack the book still wasn't finished. As we drove home I was hopeful but I knew it still wasn't complete. Then I got some devastating news. I talked with a couple publishers and learned that I needed to communicate the same message in about 20 percent less words. That's a lot to trim from a 15 chapter book. I took out absolutely anything that might be perceived as unneccessary and tried to communicate the same message in a lot less words. It was tough but I did it. I made another reservation at The Baker House http://www.bakerhouse.net less than a week after we returned from the last trip. I thought that this weekend away would be to finish writing my website copy. Not a chance. The date kept creeping closer and I get so pulled away with other things to do - I just wasn't able to put the time into finishing the book before last Thursday February 17th when we headed north to the B&B again. Again I said, "Okay, I'm going to finish my book." Well at about 6:00 pm Saturday night I did that. It's complete. Ernie gave me a big hug and I cried tears of joy and relief. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! My plan is to release the book on Mother's Day.
