So what if you were to make each silver bullet its own chapter?

And then put a personal vignette beyond the five-second soundbite that you have in the current paper to enlighten the audience on why that quote is important to you.

And I think your experience is going to be critical to the success of the book.

So that triggers something in my head.

I talked to Janet about it, and we went back to the drawing board.

And the way that I wrote it was one chapter per day.

I will take a silver bullet per day, whether I was on a flight, going to some engagement,

whether I had some time in the morning before working out or at night.

If I was feeling creative, I decided to just go ahead and shut everything off.

And then you decide to concentrate on that one chapter.

Much like the first paper, I gave it to Janet to go ahead and take a look at the first few rounds.

And she played all over it again.

She gave me some guidance.

So I went ahead and took that guidance from her and then went back to the drawing board.

And in a matter of about 45 days, I had the entire book written.

And the reason it went so fast, I didn't use a ghostwriter.

I wanted it to be my voice, my writing for my first real book, because I had a children's book with Mike Cirelli, Scarlett's Big Shot.

But by the time the book was written, I gave it back to her and she read it much like you in a day.

It was a flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Raleigh-Durham.

And in a span of two and a half hours, she read it.
