I had an epiphany today about my book. I need to re-write it. (This is the book I’ve been feeling really insecure about.)
Now, rewriting the book might not change it that much. But I want to make one small tweak to my perspective while writing it, and I know that will make all the difference.
There’s an older book called The Tipping Point that suggests often the difference between success and mediocrity is one small thing. It’s that small thing that can tip the dominos over and get them all to fall into place.
So I’m re-grouping. I’m seeking clarity for the book. I’ll be talking to a few people who I trust when it comes to content and writing. Then I’m going to take all the goodness that’s in this book…and yes there is lots of goodness…and I’m going to direct it to the right place.
What project are you working on today that you just aren’t feeling? Maybe it’s time to step back, get some perspective, and tweak your approach. You aren’t starting from scratch. But you’re starting at the beginning and taking a different route. You might end up around the same place, but the path you take to get there will make all the difference.
If nothing else, you’ll be excited about it once again.
