Always cool to see what tools other authors use to write books. I took a different route with my upcoming book[0] on career advice for programmers working towards a promotion to a senior role. I started out writing it in markdown but ended up moving to a workflow that was mostly Google Docs. My general flow was: 1. High level chapter outline 2. Outline for each individual chapter 3. Write each chapter according to the outline 4. First draft done! 5. Read through each chapter and highlight each sentence according to color code (Green: good, Orange: good but needs to be revised, Red: bad, needs to be rewritten) 6. Work through each chapter and revise/rewrite based on colors. 7. Second draft done! 8. Developmental edits (Get feedback, move chapters or sections around, add missing sections or talking points) 9. Copy edit (This is where I'm at now) 10. Prepare for publication 11. Done! [0]: https://www.holloway.com/b/junior-to-senior https://www.holloway.com/b/junior-to-senior
