The problem with writing a monthly book is that you're going through your work like a man running for a bus, red-faced and out of breath. There isn't time for reflection or critical self-examination.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writing a book is such a full-time job. If you're away for a few days, you have to start again.
I just realized quite early on that I'm not going to be the type who can write a novel every two years. I think you need to feel an urgency about the act. Otherwise, when you read it, you feel no urgency, either. So I don't write unless I really feel I need to, and that's a luxury.
With two books a year, I don't have time for writer's block.
Typically, a book takes me about a year to write.
I can write a book in probably three months.
I'm definitely not a monthly guy. Probably never will be. I'm simply in awe of the guys who do monthly books well... hell, in awe of people who do monthlies period.
I typically spend a year thinking about a book before I begin writing it.
It's the hardest thing in the world to dedicate to writing, but if you do that even once a week, after six months or a year you'll have something substantial.
I don't read books regularly, because I'm always writing them. I've written 30 books, thousands of pages.
Writing a book about yourself is like therapy, and you go 'Oh My God, that's the reason that happened.' Writing about it, you're forced to really examine things.
