I often sit down to write a blog/YouTube script with the intention of writing about a specific topic. I almost always end up writing about something else.

Today, for example, I planned on writing a blog about the idea that only wealthy people can write. Or more specifically, only wealthy people can afford to write. I won’t get into the weeds here because that will still likely be a post in the future, but….


This week’s post is an answer to the question: ‘But HOW do you write a book?’


This came from a student in one of my classes. This question was less practical and more philosophical.

We all KNOW how to write a book. You sit down and you type it out word by word until you reach the end (Note: this will likely take more than one sitting). There is a whole corner of the internet dedicated to writing advice articles that answer this very question!

But if information was the solution, then we’d all be in perfect relationships, have six-pack abs and be millionaires.

The answer to the question, ‘but HOW do you write a book?’ is both simple and also not that simple.
