I've been learning a lot from Neil Strauss and his writing through this process. I like his writing style and how it keeps you engaged the entire time. I remember a cult-like following when The Game came out a number of years ago, and everyone loved it.
On one interview that I may have linked before, him or Tim Ferriss said,
I know for a fact that I'll be adding more to it, but i'm now transitioning into the stages of adding more story and entertainment to the book (the second draft).
This may provide less of the lessons I intended to write about, but it will reach more of the mainstream and cover the most important topics for them.
For the target audience, I feel a lot of the more advanced stuff is too far out of their scope of reality to handle...so I'm balancing putting that in the book or not. I'll decide later.
For now, it's time to turn a textbook into something fun to read 😀
Target audience: People who feel stuck in life, regardless if they are socially conditioned, or 'woken up' and don't know how to reach that next level.
Main topic: Getting the mindset to get past their fears and take action to chase their dreams. Definitely giving a shout out to this forum in the book because this is where I got started.
Rough draft of the first two pages, before the preface and intro:
On one interview that I may have linked before, him or Tim Ferriss said,
- The first draft is for you. (cover what you want to cover)
- The second draft is for the reader. (give them a reason to read the next paragraph, the next page, the next chapter)
- The third draft is for the critic. (people who will poke holes in everything)
