Now an update and an explanation.
When I wrote here last, I was looking for a job, having given up on making (enough) money from consulting and online courses.
I looked for work full-time for about four months. It didn't work (difficult job market, weird resume), so about two months ago I decided to stop wasting my time. It looks like I will have to either reboot my consulting career or find a job unrelated to what I've been doing for the past 25 years. I've already tried the reboot option (that was the online courses), so I think it's time to do the second thing.
I'm fine with that, but I can't do it with all of this knowledge still stuck in my head! So I talked to my husband, and we decided to use some of our retirement savings to finish my four-book revision of Working with Stories. So I'm doing that, and unless I get a job (or a lot of consulting) doing PNI soon, this will be my final contribution to the field. It's time to hand PNI over to a new generation of thinkers and doers, and I'm enthused about getting all four books done at last.
Next I will work on the fourth edition of Working with Stories, updating it to reflect everything I've learned over the past ten years and trimming out some of the less-used parts. When that's done, I'll finish the Sourcebook and the In Depth book. My plan is to finish all of this by the end of this year. Then I'll be ready to turn the page and see what comes next.
I do not plan to publish any of these books on Amazon (print or Kindle) until I have finished all of their content. But I'll be putting them up on my website in PDF format as soon as they are ready to read. (If necessary I can hire someone to do the technical parts of the publishing process.)
Wish me luck! If you have any comments on the new Simplified book, or if there is anything you think I should change (or add or remove) in any of the WWS books, now is the time to tell me.
