I haven’t been making a big stink about it… but my next book is REAL close to coming to life.
Okay that’s not entirely true. Every time I finish a major milestone I tweet an update and link an awesome dancing video. You have to celebrate the wins, you know?
Oh what the heck… let’s celebrate together!

Okay, thanks. I wanted that.
As I was saying, before the sudden urge to dance to Tom Jones, I’m getting real close to pushing the “publish” button on Self Help to Live By, the next book from RichardStep.com Publishing. By real close I’m talking about late summer 2012, but still!
I really, really believe this book will help people out. I’ve been working on it for over a year now and it’s got some real nuggets of awesomeness, if you’ll allow me to toot my own horn for a bit. Toot-toot!
So What’s Inside, Richard?
A bunch! No seriously. After making the Table of Contents, it turned out to be pretty long. But don’t worry, this isn’t 7 Habits of Highly Effective People long (100,519 words). It’s a brisk, fun, and easy 38,880 words (as of today). That’s about 150 pages in Word. Still a few pages to tweak and a lot more visuals to add, but you get the idea.
I’m making the TOC extra detailed so it can serve as a cheat-sheet or review sheet by itself. The short version is below.
