I understand how you feel, but just start writing it, you will be fine. I have already written three books this year and I experienced the same feeling you had, but when I just started, the follow was easy.

I actually rounding up my third book now has I make this comment.

Best of luck with your book, Rok✌🏼

I would not consider audience too much, in the process. Overhearing ourselves & writing out of a place of stillness, depth and openness is hard enough.

As you know, writing is just an extension of thinking and speaking well; both of which you have shown that you can do, here. Wishing you clarity, concision and flow, brother.

Writing is only hard if you force it, strain for feeling or pretend to pronounce on what you don’t know.

Also, as with so much else in life, timing is, really, everything... Since you’ve been carrying this baby for 12 years, all you need to do,now, is relax and let the contractions take over.

Books are like babies that way; when they are ready, deliver themselves :) Or to mix metaphors, all you have to do is just sit there at your desk and bleed, as Hemingway puts it.

Awesome perspectives, as I’d expect coming from you.

I would not consider audience too much, in the process

The bit about the short attention spans, that is sort of just as true for myself as them - like putting myself as the audience, gauging for my own attention retention. Thus, the consideration is almost coming more from a, “if I myself lose focus, how could I expect others to keep theirs” - both of which are damn important.

Though aside from that, you’re surely onto something there, and I’d be wise to integrate that into my approach.

...

Much appreciation your camaraderie and support... 🙏💖

You raise an important point. If the book writing process is not a pleasure for the writer, it cannot give joy to the reader. Put out into this already book-crowded, the one missing book you wish to read, Rok, and it will be the one you're meant to write. Much love <3

Beginning is the most difficult but after you begin you will quickly find your groove. Some days the words will flow easily, some days they won't. The best word of advice I can give is try to set a daily schedule and keep to it. Before you know it you'll have a first draft. Best of luck to you!

I've thought about writing a book from time to time and then I just remember that no one really wants to read about my life nor do they probably care. Not the general public anyway. The people that matter care and that is all that really matters :)

I could not understand much but I have understood a little and in the end the video you put is quite funny.
