Ebooks and she makes it look easy (even a glitch with Skype could not stop her for long.) Then she put a mega list of links on her blog to follow up on the people, web sites, videos, and so on that we talked about. I suspect that her brain is organized a tad better than mine, at least(!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783236322334230920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-16964927629731845152011-02-02T10:15:10.155-05:002011-02-02T10:15:10.155-05:00"A very easy husband"?
Because I'v..."A very easy husband"? <br /><br />Because I've been hanging out with Katie for a while I can add this: she has carefully chosen what she wants to do from all that is possible, and made it her focus -- then figured out how to make it work for her. She has also targeted what she wants and figured out steps to get there, then taken those steps. I've learned a lot from m.o. about how to set goals in my own work -- and it's nice to see some of the internal process laid out here.

So smart!<br /><br />This made me realize that I repurpose at work, too--We write fact sheet copy when we're trying to acquire a book, and I also write out my "speech" for acquisitions meeting. And when I'm trying to write jacket and catalog copy, I'll draw from those two places (which are also drawn from the agent or author's cover letter!). When I'm preparing my materials for Focus meeting and library previews, I'll also draw from those sources. And when I write my "Beyond the Book" posts for this blog, I draw from all of those places, too.<br /><br />I think I'm going to start crowss-posting my posts here on my personal blog again.
