my agent is nagging me for a book again, just an outline and three good chapters david, give me something i can sell
she is of course correct. i write several hundred words every weekday on a topic i know well and explain to normal people enough they really like it.
hundreds of thousands of blog words is not a book, it really isn't. maybe it points in the direction of one! but aaaaaaa
last time I tried the AI book it was late 2024 and I assigned myself a pile of homework in TKs littering the text and I was *bored*, bob. and if i'm bored guess what the reader will be.
i need an idea sufficiently compelling it drags me along with it. this means it probably has to be a bad idea. that's fine, i can do bad ideas super well, it's a success formula any abyss diver knows.
"why don't you write about" well yes your idea sounds nice but does it COMPEL me, that's the secret factor here bob
* no actual bobs yelled at in the making of this post
