CTT Book Club News, Fund Raising, Copy Editing, All Systems Go!
There have been a number of exciting things taking place over the last little while.
The Inaugural CTT Book Club
I decided it was a good idea to get live feedback from people, and test the concept out on real people. Good news is, it works. We have been running in South Kensington for the last month or so. It’s already gone through a number of adjustments, and now we’re at a point where it’s running quite smoothly.
The first week was great, with an intro, and brief discussion, followed by plenty of banter on some lounges next to the Duke of Clarence near Gloucester Road Tube. From there, the night runs pretty smoothly each week.
7-7.30 drinks and banter
It’s a great bunch of peeps. And they’re a lot of fun. Of course, as expected, it’s mostly girls who’ve turned up, and they’re awesome. I’m going to blog about why I think this is in the near future.
7.30 – 8.15 Topic Discussion
Each week we talk about a chapter of the book. Really enjoyable so far, I’ve been learning as much as anyone. One of the best chats we had was about whether separating reconciliation and and forgiveness was possible, and how to do it.
8.15 – 9.00 Co-Counselling
We split into pairs and open up more about what we’re actually working through. Of course, privacy and trust is an issue, but we’re at a point where we’re really getting somewhere.
I get people to do a short survey at the end, and we’re off home.
Kick Starter Campaign
So the good news is you will be able to pre-purchase a book before the launch. I’ve finally decided to get a Kick Starter Campaign up and running. Writing a book is more expensive than I thought, what with multiple edits, ads, purchasing ISBN’s etc. The only way to really get it off the ground is to throw a bit of money at it. And so many of my friends have been supportive, and keen to get their hands on a copy, I thought I’d let you sign up in advance. You won’t have long to wait – we’re aiming for a launch party at the end of August.
The Countdown to Launch
It does seem that we’re not far away from getting it off the ground. With 12 weeks left to go, Leonard Bernstein’s quote never seemed truer:
“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not enough time”
It seems that I have both of these…
