A possible new management book
Hi Folks,
I know that most of you are far more interested in my fiction books than my management books. But I have a very real affection for both the education books and management books which I wrote as they were where I found my writers voice and discovered the confidence to write my novels.
I'm telling the following story as I think it shows how a writer's mind works and how new ideas are generated. Cheryl, my newest follower, made a suggestion for a possible management book. Now in the form she suggested I doubt I could write a really good book. However, as I thought about what she had written I realised that I could cover the information she wanted but in a different format.
That's what writers do they take ideas, stories, jokes, personnel tragedies and triumphs (not many of those in my life. Ah poor soul I hear you say) experiences dreams and a lot more and manipulate them. Sometimes they exaggerate what has happened, other times they shrink it down and combine it with another idea or event to produce what appears on the page. And the really wonderful thing about this is that about 80% of this process occurs in every writers subconscious. And most times you have no idea where the idea came from that that has just landed in your lap.
Take care
Jim
