Writing is rewriting

I’m close to finishing up two projects and I’ve very tempted to say, “this is good enough,” and just release the book. It’s a great feeling to release a book you’ve written. You should try it sometime.

I just finished the book Be a Writing Machine by M.L. Ronn. There was one part of the book that turned out to be a lightbulb moment for me.

No one cares about the book you’re about to release.

Most don’t care about the book you already released.

As a writer, most of the work you produce will come from you sitting alone at your keyboard. You make the decisions, and you execute the decisions based on your own timeline (and motivation level).

I have a very specific answer I give when people ask how writing is going.

One of the other benefits to writing a short story a week or a novel in 3 months is that you keep your momentum going.
