Collaborative Book Project

I'm a screenwriter, not an engineer. But I believe that the principles of engineering--used to create such wonders as the Eiffel Tower, the ballpoint pen, the Golden Gate Bridge, and television--can be applied to our everyday lives. The goal is to achieve greater happiness in marriage, business, child rearing, or whatever activities engage us.

To explore this idea, I'm writing a book with the working title ENGINEERING YOUR LIFE. Topics include Backward Engineering, Modeling, and Failure Analaysis.

I plan to post sample chapters here as the book takes shape.

If this project interests you, and if you'd like to participate, please let me know. Participation might range from reading preliminary drafts to writing original material for the book.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I don't know what use a two-bit erotica writer may be, but if you want any help, I'd be glad to offer it!

On this tip, I'm interested in solipsism. The pure, unadulterated kind. But my mother knows all about the NLP thing and can probably offer (slightly off the wall) insights into modelling and suchlike in a more scientific manner.

We'd considered writing collaboratively together before, on relationship topics. from mother and daughter's alternate viewpoints. Any use?
