Four books since I met Dan Miller!
I'm sitting here somewhat in awe, because when I met Dan Miller back in May, I had published chapters in other people's books, including Chicken Soup for the Soul, but no books of my own. I learned a really valuable lesson from Dan (actually many lessons!): take action. It may not be perfect, he said, but take action.
Nearly six months later, I have finished four books. The one I started two and half years ago is coming out soon-- I'm so excited I just had to share! Two and Half Years Later, We Have a Book
Feeling so blessed to have met Dan (thank you, Dan) and the wonderful folks here in the 48 Days community!

Karen,
Thanks so much for sharing...What an Encouragement!!!
One of the things I struggle with most is Taking Action, when I read stories like yours it Inspires me to stop waiting for everything to be perfect and have all the answers and just TAKE ACTION!
Thank-You! Thank-You! Thank-You! and to quote the famous Archie "GO GO GO!!!"
Blessings,
Randell

Randell, that's exactly what I struggled with all along-- waiting for the "perfect" time, to write the "perfect" sentence and produce a "perfect" book. My Ah-Ha moment came at Dan's workshop, when he mentioned that his first product was published in a 3-ring binder. I decided right then and there, that I was going to drop the "perfectionism" and just PRODUCE something tangible.
And to echo Archie-- Go, Randell, Go! Keep me posted on your progress!

You describe the necessary ingredient well - take ACTION! You are an amazing writer. You just needed a little nudge to break out on your own. Keith sent me a picture yesterday of him reading No More Mondays while barefoot skiing. Totally cool. I'll post it on here when I'm back on my computer.
