Ep 160: How to Write a Book

Make an outline, it will help. An outline will allow you to jump around and work on those areas that interest you at that moment.   If you go off on a tangent, well... tangents aren't really tangents. Allow your writing to go where it may. You'll fit it in later...   Or you won't.   Let it go, don't outline in a very strict way. Let your thoughts wander and fit them back into the book later.   It doesn't matter whether you want to write an e-book, paperback, or an audio book; James recommends you do all three. You'll look much more professional.
