My Book Draft — Update #6

—

My plan is to “launch” the book draft later in the year (Q4 2023). At the moment I’m working hard on the structure, and so there isn’t really a draft for you to read yet.

For some of you, that’s disappointing.

But I think a lot of you are excited by seeing the whole journey, so don’t be afraid to check in each week to see how far we’re come.

One of the biggest goals I have with this book is to create a nonfiction book that is as easy and enjoyable to read as your favourite fiction book.

It would have been soooooooo much easier just to write it like a standard nonfiction book. A lot of the times, they’ll read like one very, very long essay or blog post.

What I’m trying to do is see how much narrative and “plot” I can squeeze into the book, so people both enjoy it, and learn something from it.

So I’ll be using the time between now and September to create a structure that make it easy for me to write that first draft. You can check out my plan below to get a better idea of how I plan to spend my time.

MY QUESTION TO YOU — No questions really, just go check out the draft! Scroll down to find the juicy bits!
