Insights on Book Writing Process

Mark Schafer shares his unique book writing process, which involves starting with a question or problem to be answered. He creates an outline and then uses an Evernote file to collect ideas, research, quotes, and statistics. This process allows him to gather all the necessary material, so when it's time to write, he already has everything in front of him. This efficient approach has enabled him to write books in a matter of weeks, rather than years.
