2010 Project 365 :: Day 039

Taken @ 10:22 am EST

Oh, don’t look so shocked – anyone could guess that today’s photo would be of my book manuscript. At only 15,000 words, it is quite short compared to the average non-fiction book (40,000-60,000), but that was the point. Ready to edit, I’m both eager and queasy. I’ve read a lot about this stage of book writing and I’m uber-thankful that my word count is so small.

Though I don’t anticipate landing on the NY Times bestseller list, writing my first non-fiction book is nothing short of a dream come true. I have many other book ideas in mind (non-fiction, essay, short story … ), but let’s take it one thing at a time.

I write for 2 reasons: to help people by sharing my knowledge and to openly express myself. 27 Things to Know About Yoga is a great blend of those two goals. I’m ready and willing to promo this book as much as possible: traveling, interviews (phone & e-mail), book store signings, yoga studio visits, guest blogging … you name it!
