Writing a book is a test of one’s perseverance and time. Writing can involve interviews, hours of research, planning and review. Depending on your topic, you will experience periods of time where you cannot move forward until something else is finished.
That was one of my sticking points during the writing of my first book. Lack of experience, decisions, and timing could have been handled better; knowing what I now know. Sometimes the prime reason for hesitation on moving forward was simply fear. The fear of getting to far ahead in the story or how one decision may affect the next chapter or story.
Yes, it was a learning experience. Instead of taking a year to write the next book, I am hoping to finish it in 6 months. The wealth of knowledge gained from writing: The Legacy of David A. Wells-The Lexington High School Band of Gold has afforded me the chance to offer advice to other future authors.

Is it once other people recognize our accomplishments or when you realize your own?
Since publishing my book some of the comments I have received considering my endeavor are: “When you become successful don’t forget about us” or “Wow, now that you are a celebrity, don’t forget about the little people.”
Who are these “little people”? Who is the celebrity? Who determines your worth?

I have expanded my blogging to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Their website is: www.cleveland.com. I was happy to see after 4 blog posts, my postings had been named to “The Best of the Blogs” category. One person tweeted my blog. The gentleman has 12,000 followers on Tweeter. The power of social media hit me square between the eyes. I realize not all 12,000 of his followers will read my post, but I’ll take those numbers anytime!
The following day my blog was chosen as the “featured” blog on the Interact page for blogs: http://www.cleveland.com/interact/. Thanks to the Cleveland Plain Dealer and Colin Toke. I am humbled and I appreciate your thoughtfulness!
So, as I try to keep pace with what needs to happen next- I must take the time to thank my local readers and staff members with the mansfieldnewsjournal.com and mymidohio.com for your support and kindness.
I write not expecting anything from it, so when something great happens I try to share some success.
This is becoming, one nice journey.
Until We Meet Again,

As I enter the final stretch before releasing the book; it has been an adventure. What started out as an entire chronological history of the award-winning Lexington High School Band of Gold; ended up being a story honoring the Band of Gold’s founder: Mr. David A. Wells.
Before his death in May of 2009, I already realized David’s success at Lexington was worthy of an entire book. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, my wife and I were planning the trip to visit David in Boise, Idaho and interview him.
The following day, I received word he had passed away. The book took on a whole new meaning. It would be a tribute to him, honoring his success at Lexington, Ohio. I personally cannot think of a more fitting way to give back to him for all he did for me. I only wish he could be here. |

I have had the pleasure of joining several social networks created to help people with small business, marketing, creating an audience, brand, niches, using technology, and support.
The ideas people share are incredibly helpful and are free. The ideas are solid and I don’t believe you could receive as sound of advice if you paid for it. The advice is current with today’s trends and not something you find in an outdated college course or by asking someone on the street. The network is shared by folks who have used the same ideas to become successful at what you wish to achieve.
It doesn’t take a staff, building or cost a lot of money to implement the suggestions. In fact, courage is often the only step required.
I have never read one negative comment or witnessed a member being chastised. Everyone gets along and those who participate benefit whether they are giving or receiving advice. The folks offering support and advice are “paying it forward.” So by creating their own network of friends, and helping individuals these- ”givers” are possibly creating a possible future business or career.
Either way, it’s a beautiful environment to witness people helping others and communicating!
Find a real social network built to help others and become connected today.

I have been waiting several days for my proof copy of my new book and today it arrived. I became excited when I found the book placed inside the doors of my home. I was hoping to find a pristine copy inside the envelope. Unfortunately, what I found was a book with a partially torn spine.
The front and back cover is beautiful. I can’t begin to thank Keith Stoner of KAS Creative enough for the astonishing cover graphics work! Keith provided encouragement and sacrificed many hours to provide me with his professional artwork. David A. Wells would be so proud of you! |
