I’m pretty fired up. Stephen Jagger and I managed to hit our goal of writing our book “Sociable!” in 90 days. Now for our next goal which is to produce and launch it in 60 days. That means going over it with our editor, finalizing our book cover design and approaching the three people we have narrowed down that we would like to write the foreword.
