Tea with McNair

• new book on the way, meanwhile ...

"Can't count how many times I've gone back to HATCH! for myself and then there's the times I've talked about it with others exhorting them to create and use their God-given giftedness. Book #2, the "adventure" continues, count me in for a pre-sale and recommendations to others. Thanks for your encouragement to not settle for beige-ianity, keep up the good work!"

~ Jim Tice, HATCH! reader

As I am writng, imagining, editing, tossing out what doesn't fit the objective [1.] of "Book No.2 (NOT the title)" I hope you will spread the word about HATCH! to any who have not yet read it. Tell them they can (and so can you) purchase signed copies directly from me (and I will write the name of the person ordering it or to who it will be a gift.) PLUS, they are $5 off the Amazon price. (Buy 2 copies, get a 3rd copy HALF OFF.)

Thanks for any assistance you can be to support my Summer of writing. The new book is about understanding, accepting, and relaunching your own creative spirit. It's based on my TEDTalk, "Recapturing Your Creative Spirit" (also NOT the new book's title.) My TEDTalk is linked above in the Blog's intro, "What's Brewing?")

The title of the new book will be announced when we launch the pre-sale special ... when the writing is complete and the production process begins.

Onword!

 [1.] OBJECTIVE - before you start ANY word project—book, speech, seminar, sermon, essay—ask yourself, "Why am I delivering this?" The answer to that question is what ACTION you want  your reader or listener to take as a result of this message. If no action is required you are JUST MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS! Setting a clear objective will assist you in determining what goes in this piece and what does NOT belong ... it doesn't fit and support your objective.    

• pre-pre-sale of my new book

THANKS TO ALL who have emailed, texted, etc. to say you're eager to support my NEW BOOK by participating in the "Pre-Sale." However, that will not launch until I've completed my FIRST DRAFT (when I KNOW there's a book!) The pre-sale will not happen, probably, until end of Summer ... sooner, if I can. I work on it DAILY.

Meanwhile, you can support the "BOOK No.2 (NOT the title) Project" NOW buy purchasing copies of "HATCH!" or three (buy 2, get 3rd book HALF OFF) for friends, co-workers, grads headed to college who could use a creative boost, or grads entering the work force. Everyone knows someone who could use a creative shot, poke, encouragement, but hasn't read "HATCH!"—yet.

At the very least I'd ask you to encourage friends to grab "HATCH!" for Summer reading:
• Post a short review on YOUR Facebook page ...AGAIN
• Post the "HATCH!" cover or snapshot of your copy of "HATCH!" with all your colorful highlights and marginal note in you BLOG. (see photo, at right, from reader )

• Send a good word to your Twitter-nation (copy & paste or scribble your own thoughts): " NEED A CREATIVE BOOST? Grab a copy of "HACTH!" by former Disney Imagineer McNair Wilson https://cmcnairwilson.selz.com "
THANKS FOR ANY ASSIST YOU CAN BE - I'LL KEEP WRITING. If you liked HATCH! ....the new book is better! (IMHO) It's a PIP!!!
