1. When I’m writing a book I only read other
books that somehow inform my book. If it doesn’t serve my process — no matter
how much I want to read it — I don’t. I suspect there are a lot of people
who will give the opposite opinion (take a break from reading about your
subject matter, etc.), but I’m not one of them. This is your time to be
completely and justifiably obsessed. So go ahead — bask in the madness.
2. Non-fiction shouldn’t mean poorly written.
Writing is writing and art always counts. Make your book beautiful to read and
you’re more likely to communicate your messages to your reader.
3. Don’t focus on the promotional aspects of
social media. Just share your passion for the subject matter as it filters
through your writing process. The promotion aspect will be an organic
extension of your passion.
