"... keep on blogging and writing...@Daniel G,<br /><br />"<i>... keep on blogging and writing books...</i>"<br /><br />Like I've said before, with no input from the community, it's what comes to mind for <i>my</i> use.

"...did you post how you were...@randomaccess,<br /><br />"<i>...did you post how you were going with WRF?</i>"<br /><br />I talked about <a href="http://windowsir.blogspot.com/2014/10/publishing-dfir-books.html" rel="nofollow">the issue I see with book writing on 20 Oct 2014</a>; three days later, I posted about the contest. <br /><br />I don't usually convey any sort of status regarding the book, as the there are all sorts of opportunities for the community to provide input. There's the proposal review stage, and in the case of the <i>WRF 2/e</i> book, I did ask several times for input, including specific input (i.e., the contest). <br /><br />Honestly, I'm not sure how asking for specific input is going to be any different. I might reconsider if, when I have asked for input previously, folks had said, "<i>...hey, we need something a little more specific.</i>" Over the years, there's a significant reticence amongst the community to provide any kind of support at all.<br /><br />"<i>... I'm thinking of you moving into a mentoring role...</i>"<br /><br />I'm not sure how that's going to work. Something like that takes two things...someone who wants to mentor (me), and someone who wants to be mentored. <br /><br />Right now, there's only half of that equation in place.<br /><br /> H.

I remember seeing the contest and then the next post was that you'd finished it early?<br />Maybe as an idea you can provide updates on how your next book (I'm assuming) is going when you're writing it, and where you're stuck.<br />Asking for volunteers to provide specific assistance may provide more results (ie a call out on twitter for some Windows X hives to compare say comdlg or shellbags etc to see if anything has changed).<br />I guess I'm thinking of you moving into a mentoring role to get the community moving in the direction you're taking us anyways with your books. randomaccesshttp://thisweekin4n6.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9518042.post-10762462475127878382016-05-02T17:42:31.408-05:002016-05-02T17:42:31.408-05:00You hit the nail on the head with "reason or ...You hit the nail on the head with "reason or motivation for writing" being writing about something that is needed to be written but not yet has been. I completely agree. The books I wrote were for the same reason. They are books that I would have bought if someone else had written them first. <br /><br />Keep having ideas. Keep writing. I'll keep reading (and writing too).Brett Shavershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207321430604828713noreply@blogger.com
