ADVICE

Start By Writing Today

  • Just write and put words on the page to move your message out of your head and into the world.
  • Write the first draft for yourself, then revise; don’t wait for perfect conditions to start.
ADVICE

Build The Book With An Outline

  • Begin with an outline to design your book like framing a house before building it.
  • Use the outline to organize daily writing and allow later edits to reshape structure.
ADVICE

Write One Core Message

  • Focus on one core idea and resist packing multiple books into one manuscript.
  • Ask what single message you’d want to leave if this were your last year and write that book first.
