3 hours writing, page count = 134
Had an informational interview today with a colleague who works at a leading philanthropic advisory firm. You can tell she gives advice for a living, because her comments were very strategic and to the point. A big help! I spent a good bit of time catching up on the philanthropic press in preparation for the meeting.
I continued going through the manuscript, today focusing on the police chapter (now the security-force chapter) and the methodology chapter. I pruned a good deal of extraneous material, and as a result, my net page count is down; I did, however, add in a couple of pages of new material.
Thanks to Villager Geordan Drummond for the suggestion, via the comments section, to keep the how-the-chapters-are-going tally as a recurring feature. You'll now find that on the right-hand side of the blog, below the list of Villager websites, including Geordan's.

Good work - I will overlook the reduction in number of pages because it sounds like things are getting more focused. Sounds like a very useful meeting, too. Well done!
Hi, just looking to grow network as I'm transitioning from mgmt consulting to wealth mgmt/philanthropic advisory. You mentioned reviewing the "philanthropic press" and I'm curious to learn of any particularly insightful sources, incl blogs. By the way, one of the most cutting edge "businesses" in the area are New Philanthropy Capital (in uk), and Blueprint Research and Design" just in case you could use some cutting-edge thinking. Thanks, Luke H, Miami, FL.
