I’m (almost) famous!
Feb 8th, 2008 by Accidental Thinker
For those of you who are following such things, the book to which I have contributed an article, Best of The eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions: Top Articles from the eMagazine’s First Five Years
Meanwhile, a preview of the table of contents on the publisher’s website shows that my words have earned a spot as chapter 6. I recognize a couple of the other contributing authors as very big names in the field of e-learning. There’s no way I belong in the same league—I’m barely fit to breathe the same air, let alone exist between the covers of the same book—but I’ll enjoy my 15 minutes of fame.
And a pretty good 15 minutes it will be. As one of the “authors,” I will be participating in an author signing at the eLearning Guild’s annual conference in mid-April. And I’ve been invited to serve as a panelist in a panel discussion on the current state of e-learning, immediately after the book signing.
Life is feeling just a little too good to be true today.
Disclaimer: This post is in no way a sales plug, because I earn a big fat zero from any sales of the book. My only compensation is two free copies of the finished product. And the glory of seeing my name eternally in print.
“There’s no way I belong in the same league—I’m barely fit to breathe the same air, let alone exist between the covers of the same book…”
I’m afraid you’ll have to re-write that sentence. Remove anything negative and replace with joyous words of praise, thanksgiving, opportunity, excitement…
Otherwise, a great post and many feathers in your cap!! Good for you!
Obviously someone thought you belonged.
