🌅 Rejection and book production
I haven’t really known what to do with the book side of this project. A month or two ago I gained some traction with a prominent Christian publisher who really liked the manuscript of Good Night God and wanted me to submit a proposal to their board. I always held it open-handed because nothing was in writing, but the potential to publish that route meant the self-publish route was on hold.
🌅 A transitional time, and playtesting Good Night, God
Right now I’m refining the artwork and “flow” of Good Night, God, play testing with my own kids and observing where they engage or lose interest. I’m at a point right now where I’m trying to collect as much feedback as possible from friends (and their kids) and I’m in the process of getting feedback from a Jesuit priest since Examen is kind of their thing lol. I’m also pitching the book to some publishers to see if I can’t get some support on the distribution and marketing.
🅱️ The Big Red Button(s)
I’m sweating. And not just because it’s 112 Fahrenheit today. I just smashed the big red button for ordering the 2022 print edition of The King is Coming, AND for sending the album to mix, all in the same day.
🙏 A Prototype for Evening Prayer
The end of last year looked a lot more like rest than writing, but after my career transition I appreciated the time spent with family and dreaming up what the next chapter might look like. Since then, I’ve been splitting my work time between marketing/IT consulting, software product management, and this - The Beginner’s Apprenticeship project.
