Blog instead!<BR/><BR/>The problem with thinking about it as writing a book, is that assumes the old model, where you're going to write and write and write for months without anyone seeing what you're writing, and then when done release it to the world, only then to find out that nobody's interested.<BR/><BR/>Instead, start writing an interesting post every day or two here on your blog. Get feedback. Notice which subjects interest people the most. Which ones are most linked-to.<BR/><BR/>Do this for a year, and you'll find you've written a book. Then you can just put aside a little editing time to make a best-of your posts, improve on some things in hindsight, and release it all as a "book".Derek Sivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06990523449326838044noreply@blogger.com
