Episode 330: My Writing Process What's Different from Book 2 Compared to Book 1

My first book came from 15-minute morning writing sprints in a notepad before I even brushed my teeth. This second one makes me cry almost every time I open it.

That's probably the best way I can explain why writing it has been so completely different, and why I wanted to bring you into that process right now, while I'm still in it.

I'm currently writing my second book. I have an agent, I have a deadline I gave myself, and I have a story I feel so much weight around that I can barely open the document without crying.

That's where I am right now, and I figured if 82% of Americans want to write a book, I might as well pull back the curtain on what this process actually looks like.

This episode is about how I'm actually making it work, what I've had to learn about deep work versus shallow work, why external accountability is the only reason any of my biggest goals have ever happened, and why this book, about my ancestors and what they survived so I could be here, feels like the most important thing I've ever tried to do.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why 82% of Americans want to write a book and almost none of them do
• The difference between the writing that runs your business and the deep work a book actually requires
• Tony Robbins' urgent versus important framework and how it explains exactly why your book keeps losing to your inbox
• Why I write my second book at 9:30pm after dinner instead of during work hours
• The Katyn massacre, my great uncle, and what I found in the historical research that confirmed stories I had heard my whole life
• Why I cry almost every single time I open this manuscript
• How to use force functions to finally make the thing happen that you keep saying you'll do someday
• What a book proposal actually is, and what the traditional publishing timeline really looks like

If you have a book on your heart that you keep putting off, this one is going to feel very familiar.
