For about a month I’ve been working on an eBook to give away free on this blog, my Squidoo lenses, and wherever else that someone wants to give it away free.
However, I have a new found respect for successful writers. When I started to work on the eBook I asked several friends and mentors for their input, compiled their thoughts, my thoughts, and thanks to Jason for some tips on mind mapping. After about three weeks of work I felt like I had the necessary
research, thoughts, stories, and quotes to sit down and produce an outline for the eBook.
So I sat down to work on the outline, and when I finished it I realized I only had about 3 - 5 pages of content, and my goal was to write a 15 – 25 page eBook.
Hence, I now have much more respect for the hard work and time it takes for successful writers to produce best-selling books.
I’ve taken a step back to do some additional reading, find some new quotes, and hopefully experience some new stories. If you would still like to contribute, you can go here.
