Subject:<\/strong> Minor request.<\/p>\nDear all,<\/p>\n
you guys are doing well, I hope? Apologies for rushing you with a request right away: Today I would like to ask you for a small favor.<\/p>\n
For a long time, I have been playing with the idea of starting a writing project. Whether blog or book is not yet decided (probably first blog). Now I\u2019m looking for inspiration.<\/p>\n
You know me and what I do well. Do you spontaneously think of an important question \/ an important topic that you would like to see me address or answer in such a project? Something like: \u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to ask Edgar that for a long time\u2026\u201d. Small, medium, or huge \u2013 I\u2019ll take anything.<\/p>\n
Gladly spontaneous. Gladly first thoughts. But of course, you can also go into more detail, if you like. Everything that gives me a push is welcome.<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re not up for it, we\u2019ll still be friends. OK? ![\"\ud83d\ude0a\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
<\/p>\n
In any case: thank you very much in advance!<\/p>\n
Warm regards,
\nEdgar<\/p>\n
\nThat was the mail<\/h2>\n
\u2026 that I sent to some friends and well-meaning clients at the end of 2020. For a long time, even years, to be honest, I had been thinking of writing a book. The above electronic request for help was a preliminary result of the increasingly tenacious and agonizing desire to write and publish.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, the idea of writing a book had been with me for a long time, but I never really got started, despite many musings and attempts. Something was always: too little for a book, too much research, too trivial, too difficult, too easy, too little time, too much time\u2026<\/p>\n
\nI just couldn\u2019t get into doing<\/h2>\n
At least not into writing. Instead, I thought of all sorts of things I could do, even HAD to do, before<\/em> I could start writing: Looking for topics, analyzing target audiences, attending writing coaching sessions, learning how to REALLY write, READING books about writing, etc.<\/p>\n
\nIn a phase of frustration<\/h2>\n
\u2026in which I wanted to show myself (once again) that I was serious, but this time for real, I thus composed the above query. And it turned out that this was that spark that lit the fuse\u2026<\/p>\n
\nAt the same time, I felt uneasy<\/h2>\n
because to write and send such a mail meant to admit to myself and also to the recipients that I didn\u2019t really know how to approach my project. Besides, I was asking for help. And that of all people, who normally turned to ME for advice and help.<\/p>\n
\nThis all developed into a good, beautiful process<\/h2>\n
Because without exception ALL people whom I had asked for advice, helped HAPPY with distinctly POSITIVE and CONSTRUCTIVE tips.\u00a0 These I will take up here also by and by and show. After all, I had asked, among other things, which topics and questions they are interested in and would like to see me work on or answer. And the answers I would not like to withhold you of course.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nAlthough not yet a book.<\/h2>\n
And maybe never a book. But at least a blog already. And a podcast.\u00a0But most of all: a focused writing routine for me. And a reading routine for you guys.<\/p>\n
Win-Win.\u00a0Good stuff.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nMy Take Away<\/h2>\n\n- It doesn\u2019t cost anything to ask? Heck, no. But it doesn\u2019t cost much. Namely, only the overcoming of letting yourself be helped.<\/li>\n
- Letting yourself be helped is great. And helpful (*wink wink*)<\/li>\n
- Committing to your most important projects, desires, and plans and working on them step by step without taking on too much, is just plain fun.<\/li>\n
- Especially if you do not overburden yourself with it. It just makes sense to start, tackle and also build up larger projects in smaller steps. Every day in a little something. For example, just blogging or podcasting instead of immediately times to try to lift the big project (UFF!).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
