The Importance of Structure and Planning in Writing
Having a clear structure and assembling materials before starting to write is crucial. Planning where you're heading and knowing your destination before beginning the writing process is essential. The analogy of needing a map to travel from New York to San Francisco emphasizes the importance of planning. It's crucial to have a clear end result in mind and to undergo thorough thinking before starting a book. Comparing the initial proposal to the final result shows the discrepancy, and the Eisenhower quote 'plans are worthless, but planning is everything' underscores the importance of the planning process. Self-published books often fail due to the absence of constraints and deadlines, which can lead to a lack of structure and planning.
