From Passion to Pages: Seeking Your Insight on My Relationship Book
Over the years, I've passionately explored the dynamics of relationships, from creating applications to writing insightful articles (hopefully...). Last year, I embarked on a new journey: writing a book dedicated to understanding these connections. As I get closer to wrapping this up, I feel more at ease sharing this venture.
Some of the topics I’m covering include:
- How “you†impact the relationships around you
- Strengthening relationships while protecting your network
- Leveraging your network for the greater good
"Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives." – Brené Brown
This quote reinforces the spirit of the book. I must admit that while my enthusiasm was very high, seeing the first word and then working through the storyline was much more difficult than expected. I’d reach a hundred pages, tear it down to thirty, and continue again. Thinking about past relationships and experiences brought back so many memories—both joyful and sad. All of these have created the tapestry of my life, rich with experiences and invaluable connections of trust.
Given the book’s focus on relationships, involving my network in this journey feels fitting. With your help, I believe this book can become a valuable resource for others navigating their relationships.
As this is my first book, I would greatly appreciate any expertise you can offer in reviewing sections of the manuscript, navigating the publishing process, and providing feedback on the structure.
Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in my journey so far. Your feedback and insights are so meaningful as I work to finalize this book. Together, we can create something truly impactful that will help others in their journey of understanding and nurturing relationships.

9 个月Ralph Schonenbach, I'm inspired and proud of you. Frankly, I am living a bit vicariously through you as I often feel I have 2 to 3 books in me somewhere. My only advice is to reinforce the obvious - 1) stay authentic, 2) stay close to your "Why" Why are you writing the book? and 3) Relationships and music are the keys to the soul - add some music to your book!
