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.
