The key to finishing a book? Start with a plan.


Hi Reader,

Starting any project with a plan is crucial. Imagine building a house without a blueprint…bringing in a pile of lumber and nailing pieces together willy-nilly…starting without a foundation…and no schedule to tell you if the roof will be on before the rains come. Doesn’t sound very successful, does it?

While you don’t have to worry about getting rained on when you write a book, slapping words on a page without an end goal in mind, being confused about your book’s purpose, or no way to organize what you've written will result in a book that’s about as solid as that house built without plans.

A plan can make or break your book-writing process. Without that direction, it’s easy to get stuck, overwhelmed, or lose steam altogether.

That’s why my upcoming workshop includes my proven Book Project Plan Template—a format that helps you:

  1. Nail down your book’s purpose.
  2. Organize your ideas into a clear, logical outline.
  3. Develop a writing schedule with word-count goals.
  4. List your milestones and due dates to keep you on track.
  5. See all the tasks or editing and publishing at once so you know when they need to be done.
  6. Think about how to market your book before you’re even done writing it.
  7. Stay focused and inspired as you write.

To get you started, I’m sharing a free video guide for #2 above.

Pre-P.S. If it feels like the world is going to shit…do something good with the life you have: Become a doula! I’ve got a few options for you. Check the P.S. below, Hi Reader, In January, I went on a “news diet.” It’s like intermittent fasting but for consuming news. You stay away from offending news for most of the week, and then take in what you can during a short period of time. My diet: no Heather Cox Richardson emails during the week, no Facebook scrolling, and no TV news, ever. On the...

Hi Reader, Three months ago, I started a job. The j.o.b. kind, where you clock in, report to someone, and have coworkers. I haven’t done this in over 25 years. It’s a trip. The logistical adjustments have been pretty easy. I don’t go in until the afternoon, so I have mornings wide open. I actually enjoy the routine of working on my business in the morning, then getting dressed, eating lunch before I leave, packing my dinner, driving on autopilot to the same destination, and parking in the...
