How I Write a Book in a Weekend (Without Using AI)
There are programs out there for writing books quickly using AI. I am not talking about that. I am talking about using your own mind. It is possible to write a book in a weekend. I talk more about all the steps that I use and that anyone can use to write, publish, and market a book in a year free here.
But I’m going to go into more detail in a different area, an area that I would like more people who share my mindset about the world to understand, in hopes that you, too, can be more effective in promoting your ideas in the world.
Beware of the Know-It-Alls
Before the Four-Minute Mile was run, it was considered a physiological impossibility by many. After the Four Minute Mile was run, it soon became a plausible goal that many attained and achieved.

I wrote that down. You guessed it, sometimes the next idea then came to me. Sometimes it would stop there; sometimes a complete outline would come; sometimes a complete essay would come.
By simply following this process diligently, I have found the ability to write 5, 6, even 7 one-thousand word essays in a day. It all begins with me diligently writing down the idea in my head — no matter what the idea is. I know I just need to get it out of my head and onto paper. That is the first step.
I have no idea how people walk around with ideas in their head all day long that they do not commit to paper and expect to make them actionable. That is not within my skillset. But, at the same time, based on my discussions with others, I do not think it is in most people’s skillsets. They seldom get anything done with those ideas.
