Platform design and the IPA’s Roadmap to 2030, Built Environment Matters podcast with Trudi Sully from The Construction Innovation Hub

We had a ton of fun trying all the interesting treats and I thought I’d share some of the ideas and inspiration they gave me.. With Valentine’s day coming up, it gives us all a great excuse to eat a little more chocolate than usual, although I honestly don’t think you need much of an excuse.

It really is kind of a long and twisty road to get from the start to the finish of the book-writing experience and I’m learning so much along the way.There have also been quite a few surprises and some pretty good little stories too, so whether you’re thinking of writing a book, or whether you just want the chance to peek in at what it’s like, this is your chance!.

One of the first things that I found really surprising about the whole book-writing thing is just how much back-and-forthing goes on before the book-writing can even really begin!Well, it may be a little different for every author, because of course there are those that write the book first and then “shop” it around to different publishers.In my case, the publisher reached out to me to see if writing a book would be something that I would be interested in, and we started building the concept for the book from there..

When the editor at the publisher first emailed me, of course I was excited and felt pretty honored that she/they had read my blog and felt that my writing style and what I wrote about would be fitting for an actual real, live book.We scheduled a time to chat on the phone about the book idea a little bit more, and my impression was honestly that she would be kind of trying to sell me on the idea of writing a book for them and letting me know what that would entail and it would just be up to me to either say “yes” or “no”.. Ha!.

The first call was almost like an interview for me, which in retrospect makes sense, because they want to be sure I’m an actual person, with an actual passion for what I’m going to write about.

They wanted to know a little bit about my story and my background, and if I had any other interests besides the main subject for the book, and of course what made me so interested in writing a book on this subject, which was homekeeping/cleaning tips.There’s always next year!.
