Digitising planning & the impact of digital twin technology

Besides, I love looking at the worn-down path down the middle of the hall.

We scheduled a time to chat on the phone about the book idea a little bit more, and my impression was honestly that she would be kind of trying to sell me on the idea of writing a book for them and letting me know what that would entail and it would just be up to me to either say “yes” or “no”.. Ha!.The first call was almost like an interview for me, which in retrospect makes sense, because they want to be sure I’m an actual person, with an actual passion for what I’m going to write about.

They wanted to know a little bit about my story and my background, and if I had any other interests besides the main subject for the book, and of course what made me so interested in writing a book on this subject, which was homekeeping/cleaning tips.I was really surprised though, as I thought that I would mostly be listening rather than talking on this call, so I kind of had to gather my thoughts quickly on the spot and then “sell” myself a little bit.I didn’t think I’d have to do much talking or “selling myself” because they really have access to a huge amount of my writing on my blog, and I just kind of thought that would speak for itself.

There was a second call about a week or so later where we were supposed to talk about some ideas for concepts and things like that, and by that time I knew a little more about what to expect, so I came prepared!I came up with a few different ideas for the book and got myself ready to talk about my general vision for what type of book I would want it to be and how I would want it to look and feel.

I still felt like I really had to sell myself on that second call, maybe even more so than on the first call, but it was much easier when I knew that I was the one who would be doing most of the talking, job interview-style..

So we landed on a concept pretty quickly and they asked me to send them a list of the chapters that I wanted to include in the book, along with the introductions to each of those chapters as it would appear in the book,.In fact, just yesterday we went to see the doctor and he’s already gained 2 oz over his birth weight!

Babies lose weight after birth and you usually want them back up to birth weight by 2 weeks old, so his weight gain is a big deal!.OK, enough baby talk for today.

🙂 Onto the DIY of the day.Of course it’s still Jack-related!.
