My Brain:
"Psst, here's a great idea for your book."
Me:
"I'm busy. I'll write it down later. I'll remember it."
Morgan Freeman:
"But he did not remember it, for his brain soon moved on to wonder how cottage cheese gets made."

More than inspiration, writing a book requires discipline.
There are days I feel highly driven, only to get nowhere. Similarly, there are mornings I feel off, yet end up making massive leaps.
If you want progress, don’t trust your feelings.
Trust discipline ✍️

"[The book is] a laugh-out-loud space adventure in the spirit of Douglas Adams. With sharp meta-humor, zany set-piece scenes, memorable characters, and surprisingly heartfelt story beats, it’s a truly one-of-a-kind read."

While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."
As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."
It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table.
Build it. They will come 🙏

The phrase "It turns out" is the ultimate shortcut to credibility.
It makes any statement sound like an undeniable fact while wielding no actual authority.
Observe:
"It turns out elephants love sushi."
See? It must be so, right? 🍣🐘

There's no hope of writing for a living nowadays, is there?
They say, without a lucky hit, you need 10 books under your belt, before you might earn enough.
As a side hustle, a single book takes several years to finish.
So, you need decades to (maybe) make it?

Another decent writing tip: Don’t chase flow. Chase clarity.
Flow is what you feel while writing. Clarity is what the reader feels while reading.
Many writers confuse the two, and that’s why their “inspired” drafts don’t land.
