I've been writing a lot about different things on this blog/website. I thought it would be appropriate for me to attempt to write a book, something that would be a little bit more constructive than simply writing what was going on in my head. Thus the goal of writing a book was born.

I'm always curious about the processes involved in accomplishing a certain goal. In this case, how should one write a book?

  • Determine the topic
  • Prepare a plan
  • Write the content
  • Review the content
  • Reformulate/Rephrase/Restructure
  • Format
  • Prepare for publication
  • Based on reading speed of individuals (around 230±30 wpm), we can define how long we want our book to take to read
    • 1h = 13800 words
    • 4h = 55200 words
    • 8h = 110400 words
