INSIGHT

Books Change Lives In Three Ways

  • Publishing a book impacts readers, friends/family, and at least one life in a transformative way.
  • That qualitative impact can justify publishing even without financial success.
ADVICE

Write First, Edit Later; Pick One Book

  • Do not edit while you write and focus on one book at a time to maintain momentum.
  • Choose your first book by which one you can finish fastest and which will produce results.
ADVICE

Mind Map → Big Outline → 30-Day Draft

  • Do a detailed mind map, convert it into a structured outline, then complete a 30-day rough draft from that outline.
  • The outline should be detailed enough that drafting becomes turning bullet points into sentences.
