Approaching the Finnish Line
In Book Journey 5 Letter 5, I am delighted to witness the sunrise again. I am on the verge of finishing my manuscript, which is a great relief. I should have known beforehand how arduous it is to write a book. Hence, I have the peace of mind to create a blog. I must communicate with my audience, and writing a book is solitary.
Next Blog on my Book Journey
Reflecting on my journey, I am keen to share my insights and experiences with readers, and I am eager to publish my next blog soon, which will include the preliminary preface as a presentation of the Book.
Proofreading Forever
Every time I proofread my text, I expected this time to be the last. However, in each reading, I have found new corrections to make in my language. But more seriously, I discovered several text parts needed to be added. I detected gaps in my theory because I now focused more on how ordinary people function—blind spots that had to be expanded. Also, new parts of my ideas had to be created because it was partly a new territory for me.
I found new linguistic errors when I reread the text after making corrections and additions. Moreover, when I contemplated my new theoretical extensions, I realized their logic needed to be more consistent with what I had written in other chapters. So, I had to rewrite it all through the spring.
Heavy Demands
My stress increased because I wanted to create a high-quality manuscript. At the same time, I longed for the work to end, mostly because I wanted to escape the constant pressure each day to complete my assignment as soon as possible. Also, my text summarizes my Book Motivational Work Part 1 -4. Understandably, only a few people have had the energy to study my theory when the text is that voluminous (1,700 pages).
How to use in Everyday Life
I have added several new sections explaining how you can use my method in everyday life. You will get fast and concrete advice on how to deal with many frustrations, especially losing life energy. At the same time, I have used easy-to-grasp language. To further explain my theory, many case descriptions have been added.
Bewitched
My revelation that the text summarized my life achievements made it even more precious for me to create a masterpiece. Consequently, my ambitions rose to new heights. To sum up, it has been impossible to do anything else but complete the manuscript.
It is as if I have been bewitched. Lately, colleagues have told me that it is impossible not to find some faults no matter how many times you proofread. If you make fewer changes, you avoid being too elaborate and un-spontaneous.
One more Proofreading is necessary
Every time I have had the opportunity to write, I have chosen to devote my time to finishing my future Book. It is only partially true that I have completed my work. Thus, reading the manuscript at least one more time is necessary, but I foresee no significant revisions.
No Stress
I do not feel stressed anymore. Instead, it is a good idea to pause my writing. Many of you can recognize that you need more time to make corrections and elaborate adjustments if you are too tired. After being away from the manuscript, you meet the text again with fresh eyes.
To sum up, I have decided to set a time limit for my revision, and my Book Journey is nearing its end.
Reminder
P.S. It’s the perfect time to schedule me for lectures, supervision, and courses this fall now that I’ve completed my Book. Please click on this link: https://revstedtblog.com/training-in-motivational-work/
