Unlocking the legacy door

It was a cold and windy night, the stars in the sky were a blanket of twinkling lights. Men lied down quietly on their beds, the trees swayed in the night breeze and the moon shone brightly in the sky.?But there was something else stirring in the air, something intangible, magical and inspiring. It was the emergence of an idea.

Passionately unlocking the legacy door gave birth to a unique book out from the fringes of ancient Bonny Kingdom. It was a journey of two (2) parts in agreement with Edward Abbey who says, “What is the essence of the art of writing? Part One: Have something to say. Part Two: Say it well".

The journey started in my mind followed by a post on #linkedin over 10 months ago [?https://www.dhirubhai.net/posts/amosologunleko-leader-coach-mentor_blogging-newsletter-leadership-activity-6917078038392238080-CDDL?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios ].

Finally, I completed the manuscript of my upcoming leadership book in December 2022. Having missed the milestone twice, I promised to get it done and dusted before the year ran out and I made it. Not withstanding necessary and unnecessary obstacles, I am standing straight and tall.

With graceful vigor, I went back to work on the last two (2) chapters with renewed hope and cautious optimism. It ended very well in praise. Hurray!

It’s a nice feeling transiting from a blogger to an accomplished author.

Now, that the editing is progressing well, I can wet your appetite a little more about the project that drew “sweat and blood” out of me.

A book of seven (7) chapters; each loaded with unique voice, enduring message and exceptional appeal. I can’t wait to have it fully edited, widely reviewed, and available in reputable platforms.?
