“This is not a Camry”
My consultant, Stephanie Huffman (Epiphany), is fond of using this metaphor when comparing my first book to the ones I’m about to finish. She likes to call The Mindset of Networking® a “Camry.” She says this in reference to the relative ease of the process in pulling it all together after the manuscript was written last year. There were no pictures, images, or maps. In other words, it was a pretty simple book to publish because the presentation of content was straightforward and not complicated. The edited manuscript went to galley and to print very quickly with minimal heartburn (thanks to Kevin Wax of Wax Family Printing).
I’m done writing the first book in the Walking Tours Series. Actually, it’s now two separate books. I’ve had to split it into 2 volumes—too much information for one book. The editing by Dimples Kellogg (Master Sales, Inc.) is about completed on both manuscripts. So the engine has been built and placed into the car frame of a Maserati (or should we say a Citroën since it’s a book on Paris, France?).
