Writing plans

Today I'm working on my book.  I've been away from it for a while because of work committments but the break has helped me see a better way to put it together.  I so enjoy researching and writing and would love to spend more time on it.  So.....I've been thinking of how to raise some sponsorship money to support me for about a day a week to devote to the book until I'm ready to scout for a publisher or an agent.  I have some ideas and as I try them, I will post my progress on this blog.

My first idea is to just put it out there that I am interested in finding a sponsor and and agent for my book.  In keeping with The Secret, I am going to tell the Universe what I want.  Most of my life I haven't really known what I want and I appreciate the difficulty of using The Secret with that level of uncertainty in my mind.  It's a bit like hoping to win the lottery someday, without actually ever buying a ticket.

So here is what I want--I want sponsors and, soon after, an agent!  I have an outline, and sections of chapters written and I am getting them put together into a book proposal so I have something to share if I get the opportunity to pitch.  I'd like about 10 sponsors that would be willing to donate $1-5k  and in return I will write a section at the back of the book on each sponsor.  Ideally, I would like integral-friendly sponsors.  So, as soon as I get the proposal into reasonable shape, I am going to try a social/professional network I am part of http://www.linkedin.com/in/sheryltorr   and see what happens!

Wish me luck!

Peace for the Holidays
