Dance of the Possible: Launch Recap (w/ Photos)
About 80 friends and fans joined me on Wednesday night to celebrate the launch of The Dance of the Possible. It’s a good chance to thank all the folks who’ve helped make my 14 year, 7 book, writing career possible, and share with them the launch of something new.
The book is on-sale now in Kindle and paperback, and you can read a free chapter here.
Below is a recap of the fun (including the list of topics people want me to write about in the future). Thanks to everyone who helped on launch day all around the world, with your pre-orders, tweets and FB shares!
If you came to the party – photos from the booth can be found here.
One of my favorite things about launch parties is the wall of suggestions, where anyone can put an idea for something I should write about on a post-it note. There were 62 of them, some wonderful, some bizarre, and some I can’t begin to explain. Here they are:
