I began work this morning on my first non-fiction book. It is titled “From the Heart of a Grateful Man”.
I love to set aggressive goals for myself and communicate them publicly. It keeps me honest. So, my goal is to be done with the first draft within two weeks from today and to have it published by December 6 (in time for the latter part of the holiday shopping season.)
With Love,
Russ

We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders.

Good luck, Russ. May the muse be with you! 🙂
Thank you Lori! So far, it’s been with me all day and nearly all night, though I think I’ve hit the wall and I’m likely to be heading for bed while there is still an hour of two of darkness left. I’m tired but very pleased as to how much I’ve gotten done. I may be able to have the book laid out about one week before I planned,
And knowing you… you will do it … Diane
Thank you, dear friend.
