How I Write

NOTE

Navigating Writing as a Puzzle

Transitioning from internet writing to a book requires a shift as books demand conveying thoughts directly without relying on links. Writers must avoid repeating the same stories and need to identify their patterns and overlaps. Writing can follow two modes: discovery writing, exploring ideas as they come, and outline writing, establishing the book's architecture first. Working through writing is similar to a consulting project, involving going deep into details, rising to grasp the big picture, and iterating between the two. Trusting the process and allowing data and story to guide is key in both writing and consulting, even when outcomes are uncertain.
