From time to time I like to pause from technical books and take something fun or interesting. Do you know that movies where the final 5 minutes explain and help to make all the sense we were looking for? Not that this book is confusing or misterious, but the final chapters give a special flavor to it. Do recommend:

[Situational Note-taking] A Tree of Thoughts (Oliver Ding, 2023) This short note is part of my 2023 annual review. From 2019 to Dec 2023, I wrote 26 possible books. The previous posts used different ways to curate these books. I used a Network to curate these books. Yesterday I gave myself a challenge: Can I turn it from a Network into a Tree? The diagram below is the answer! https://lnkd.in/g8AXNJn4 (1/5/2024)

Took so long to finish a book, it's way past the overdue date. Great insights though, it provides very clear and simple steps to elevate my performance, instead of teaching over-the-top and unnecessary strategies. On to my next book..... Need to set time away to really indulge in reading.

30 years ago, I released my first ever book, S.U.M.O. Shut Up, Move On. Next week, my last ever book, How to Succeed With People will be released, fully revised, with 4 BRAND NEW CHAPTERS.

At a recent discussion for a local book club, I shared my mother’s hand-stitched quilt - featured in the first chapter of my memoir “Frozen Dinners.” I’m available for discussions at area book clubs interested in memoirs, children’s books, or midlife humor. #amwriting, #memoir, #quilting, #bookclub, #publishing,

This is my 7th book. Here is a draft of the cover. It's a middle grade book. What do you think it is about?

Today was a first... I signed my first book as an author. Signed it! With my scribbly scribbles! I am so proud of this book and excited by the feedback I've been receiving from beta readers and advanced readers. You still have time to preorder and receive an extract from me (while you're waiting for the hard copy to arrive). There's link in my profile to purchase directly from me! #moneybook #author #wtfmoney

"But when the act of enjoying a good book has become warped by the performance of consuming it, is it even pleasurable at all? Instead of savouring a novel, it feels more like frantically cramming before an exam. Ultimately, it’s doing ourselves – and the books we’re reading – a disservice." #books #booklover #book #read #reading #library #librariesoftheworld #literature #publishing #authors #author #bookshop #publishingindustry #publishinghouse #publishing #creativity #goodreads #competition #enjoythejourney #enjoythemoment #recreation #recreationaltherapy #recreational #enjoythelittlethings #enjoytheprocess https://lnkd.in/eB9j6VX6

I just submitted chapter 15 of my book. I have one (big) chapter left to write on vulnerability classes, then my first draft is DONE! I'm also about 1/3 done my technical edits (which tend to be a lot of work too). OMG I'm actually going to finish my book! #aliceandboblearn

Bit of R and R and a good book.
