Book: progress report
Category: IT Topic: Book on domain modeling
My co-authors and I have reached an important milestone in the writing of our book. We've now got a complete draft of all chapters.
My tasks for next week will be:
- find a displacement activity
- tell myself off for engaging in displacement activity, and stop it
- find a new displacement activity
- reward myself for being so busy
- notice I haven't actually achieved anything useful
- find a new displacement activity
- finally admit that displacement activities aren't the same as writing the book
- patiently check the details of the case study in every chapter
- find a displacement activity
- tell myself off for engaging in displacement activity, and stop it
- find a new displacement activity
- admit again that displacement activities aren't the same as writing the book
- go through whole book, filling in the few remaining missing bits.
You can see where the phrase "struggling artist" comes from !
You might already be on our list of people we plan to ask to review the complete manuscript but, if you'd like to review the book, email me just to be sure (if you don't already have an email address for me, please use richard at inferdata dot com).
