Book Update - PWDIR
After reviewing what I’ve written so far, and taking some time to seriously contemplate my writing process and some obstacles I’ve been dealing with in finishing the book, I had an idea. This will mean re-writing much of what has already been done, but probably finishing faster and having something people will enjoy much more as a result.
Those of you who remember my training journal entries from the late 90’s on Cyberpump.com might recognize the acronym in the post title - a hint at the new direction the content and tone of the book will be taking.
I’ve started putting together a glossary of commonly used acronyms for the book, since I’ve found I’m using quite a few of them. There will also be an appendix of charts, tables, and various formulas and worksheets from the book that people should find helpful.
Thanks to everybody for the e-mails and interest in the book. I hope you find it informative and enjoy reading it when it’s out.
Bodybuilding Book Progress Update
I am making some major changes to the structure of the book, which means it will take somewhat longer to complete, but I believe it will flow better and makes more organizational sense.
A lot of people have been e-mailing asking about it, and I greatly appreciate the interest in the book, but I would rather wait until I am happy with it than rush out something I will regret later. I believe the changes will be worth the wait.
I am trying to edit it to maximize the “signal to noise” ratio, with efficiency and readability and ease of use the top priorities. Unless an anecdote or detailed scientific explanation significantly contributes to understanding of a concept, it’s being cut or moved to a sidebar or the appendix. By moving some of these to sidebars or the appendix the flow will be improved while somewhat off-topic or more technical information will be retained for those interested.
I hope to finish it soon, but it is more important to me to do it right than to do it right now.
