[Random advice from the internet]
Write a book because you want to write a book and let the chips fall where they may.
Wanting-to-write-a-book often reflects the idea of wanting-to-be-the-kind-of-person-who-writes-books more than it reflects an embracing of the work involved.
Or to put it another way, asking-HN is a lot easier than showing-HN a draft for feedback and if you really want to write a book, you need a draft not a comment thread.
Not that there is anything wrong with not writing a book. It's a lot of hard work for little to no reward other than the work itself.
Good luck.
- iamflimflam1 3y agoThanks! And you’re right, I should get a draft up as soon as possible.
