B. MAINTAIN a DATABASE of MEDIA
APPEARANCES and CONTACTS.
A database will help you create cross-selling opportunities and enable you to
easily locate past appearances for reference. Include the publication, radio/TV
show, etc., date and time you appeared, address, city and state, zip code,
telephone number, E-mail, host, producer, and a one or two-word description of
topics covered. Believe me on this one; I spent hours trying to invent a
database and years later I gave up. Rather than rewrite history, start your
database now.

C. UPDATE THE COPYRIGHT DATE on your web
site to 2003. If it says, for example, Copyright 1996-2000, it appears that
site content has not been updated lately.
D. WHO IS SELLING YOUR BOOKS and what are
they charging? See
Just type in the ISBN.
E. STOP ERROR MESSAGES ON BOOTUP
You removed a piece of software
using the Add/Remove Programs applet, and now you see that "thus and such
thing didn't start up" error dialog box every time you start up. It
wouldn't be so bad if you hadn't seen the same dialog box 500 times before!
Here's how you get rid of it:
1. Click the Start button and click the
Run command. Type Regedt32 in the Open text box and click OK.
2. Navigate to the following key In the
Registry Editor:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
3. Click the Edit menu, point to New and
click DWORD Value. Change the name of the new value to NoPopupsOnBoot. Double
click the value and change the Value Data to 1. Click OK in the Edit DWORD
Value dialog box.
4. Restart the computer.
Now you won't have to see those error
messages on boot up anymore!

WRITE YOUR VERY BEST
Good work keeps readers coming
back.
You are a professional. Readers are paying good money,
and they expect good work. It is poor reasoning to save your best writing for a
future piece. Each reader deserves your best.
Dianna Booher submitted her 318-page
manuscript titled Executive’s Portfolio
of Model Speeches to Prentice Hall. As is their typical policy, the editor
sent the manuscript to their review committee before final acceptance. After
their review, she received a letter from the editor asking for new ideas for
her next book and commending her on the quality of the manuscript.
Along with his letter, the editor
attached a letter from his review team of freelance editors and academicians.
One commented that he had been a freelance editor for the major publishers for
25 years and had never worked on a manuscript that was “so clean and of such
high quality.” He and the editorial committee had only three issues/questions
they felt the Prentice Hall editor should discuss with Dianna before sending
the manuscript off to the production people. 1) They wanted to know why she had
quoted so many more male Fortune 500 CEOs in the book than females. (Her
answer: “There are more males CEOs to select from.”) 2) They questioned the
accuracy of a quotation because of its odd phrasing. (Her response: “I
double-checked and my version is correct.”) 3) Why had she decided to quote
from Roger Smith, former CEO of GM, while he was in such disfavor? (Her response: “He is still a worthy voice on my subject.”)
The freelance editor’s letter went on to
close after summarizing these three issues:
“Given the quality of this manuscript, however, we as a committee are
sure this author had good reason for using the Roger Smith quotation, so we
would suggest leaving it in regardless of the current news flap.”
Dianna’s acquiring editor still calls her
after all these years asking her if she might be interested in doing other
books for them.
Writing is a learning experience; both your writing and material will
improve with practice. Give your best effort and there will be another book and
another. Turn out a superior book and your agent, publisher and readers will
eagerly wait for the next one.
“The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.”
—Jonas Salk, physician and epidemiologist who developed the first polio
vaccine.
