I enjoyed reading your take on the thoughts that ruminate around so many writers’ minds—thanks for your transparency about the process. And good luck on the pre-orders and book promo!
Substack is more about the relationship with the reader than the exact content, and most people don’t respect this. I don’t really have a view for how books fit in. Brave time to write one.
Thanks! I am hoping that some of the history and higher level principles will have some lasting power.
That being said, it’s partly why I’m going with a smaller, hybrid publisher for speed and not a traditional one—I’m willing to bet that it’ll still be relevant 1-2 years from now. I’m not so sure about 3-5!
I'm very excited for you to get your book out there, James! And thanks for the kind words about my Substack/podcast. I'm glad it's been a source of inspiration. Happy New Year!
This is a wonderful personal testimony, James! You’re unique, despite all James Wangs of the world, and your writing shows me that you’re incredibly kind (though I’ll want to confirm that when we meet. 😉) Unfortunately, I’ve put myself in situations in life where kindness feels like a rare gem, so I value it greatly.
You have an intellectually rich and, yes, quippy style of writing that’s truly one of a kind.
Thank you for sharing yourself through this book-writing journey. I know it’s not easy, but I’m certain there are thousands of people, just like me, who can’t wait to be captivated by your brilliant work.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! ❄️🎄🎅🎁
