After all these months, I finally am moving on my book! I found someone to help me extract all these facts out of my head, which is a critical starting point. I’m not a natural writer; I can’t sit down and just regurgitate tons of text on demand. It takes me effort. But having someone who is knowledgeable AND able to editorialize and write extract all this information from my mind is a godsend for the book’s process.
She interviews me, digs into areas to find out more information, makes notes on things that require more research. Having a “brain extractor” work with me has also helped me think through how this book should be formatted and ultimately end up. My next step is to get a few paragraphs written and then finalize how I want to publish this book…
