So I’m writing book No. 3 (hey, maybe I should call it that)
It’s about mapping out and doing something with your
identity
It’s a super practical guide / journal to help you further understand and visualize who you are. It’s also designed to help you explore the possibilities of your future. It’s best used as a tool to process and walk through with your friends and family. I think it’s pretty nifty.
No. 1
No. 2
No.
I’ve finished the first draft, am well into the second
but I’d like some help, and hope to:
crowdsource
the thing.
crowd-sourcing |kroud-getting help-like|
noun: the act of sharing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an undefined, large group of people or community (a "crowd"), through an open call to action.
I’m shooting for a September release date
and would like your help in two ways:
crowdContent
is where you inform what’s in the book. I’d like to do this in three ways:
No. 1 - You send me your name and five identity statements about yourself which will go in the book as a composite ‘we are’ kinda thing
No. 2 - You visit the blog and let me know what you think about my process, share your ideas, stories... to inform the overall content...
No. 3 - I’ll be asking 12 of you to add your piece to one of the 12 chapters in the book, which we’ll also share in the blog for more feedback...
crowdFunding
is where you help me write and distribute the book and its accompanying web site:
If you can send me
anything, you’ll help get the book written and distributed for which I’d be more than glad to send you the eBook version.
If you’re able to send
$25USD, I’ll be able to do the above plus send you the Hardback version any-where in the US or Europe.
If you can afford
$35USD, I’ll be able to do the above plus send you the Hardback version anywhere in the world.
If you have a whopping
$65USD, I’ll be able to do the above plus send you the all three of my books or two copies of the new hardback anywhere in the world. (I think)
If you just got paid, can give
$65+USD, I’ll be able to do the above plus buy you lunch and talk about your identity the next time I’m in your town. (If it doesn’t happen within a year, I send another copy of my book to anyone you choose, or I take Heather out to dinner, with thanks.)
how it works ...
1. Go to this page and use the easiest form of payment: (Paypal takes 3% so a check would be better. Most bank transfers online within the same country don't charge anything.)
2. Email me...
- the amount you sent and where
- if you want an eBook or Hard cover: (and which format you want the eBook in: like Kindle, iPad...)
- your address and phone number (I won’t give this out, I just need it for couriers)
3. I'll send you the book by the end of Sept when it's published.
I hope that in any case, you and some family or friends will be
able to use this book to validate, celebrate and use your identity to enable a future only you guys can create together.
wanna see some of the work in progress?
