      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Nick Cole

      Interesting thread. I will freely admit that @NickColeBooks has written a lot more, and been a lot more successful writing than I have, so by default, one should give his opinions far more weight than mine on this topic, but >>>https://twitter.com/RealNickCole/status/1202611670339571712 …

      Most writers don’t plan for sucesss. They hope for it. But they don’t plan for it. They hope a consensus of the masses will beg them to write another book in the series, instead of having that book ready to go. In other words... they don’t believe in themselves. Or their writing.

      2/ Coming from a history of starting companies (two), and running A/B ad campaigns, my failures have ALWAYS come from being too bold and doing too much work before getting feedback from the market, NOT from being too timid and asking for feedback too soon.

      3/ A series of small bets, gathering data in between bets, is a MUCH safer strategy than pushing your entire stake into the pot before turning over any of your cards.

      4/ The disconnect between Nick and myself could stem from a couple of different areas: * maybe Nick is lucky - everything he's randomly chosen to write so far has happened to have an audience out there * maybe Nick is skilled - he's got an unerring eye for the market

          5/ * maybe Nick writes at a quicker clip, or has a different trade off between writing and non-writing gigs, so he can write a full series, publish it, and what I would consider "one huge multiyear bet" is - FOR HIM - "one small or medium bet". Not sure which it is...

          6/ ...and would be curious to know. I certainly think that Nick knows what works for him, and am not second guessing that. I'm just providing another perspective, and arguing that HIS method may not be the best method for all. Thoughts?

          Both threads are worth reading. My only contribution: becoming a successful author is really fucking hard, and even if you believe in yourself, are talented, work hard, and do everything right, you still probably won't be able to make a career if it https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1202625122387058690 …

          1/ I think @NickColeBooks is right that from a financial point of view, three shorter books in a series delivered in rapid succession will be more profitable than releasing the same output as, say, two longer books with a long delay as you write the second.

          Cole's books & Corcoran's books strike me as the product of very different writing processes. Written at a white-hot pace but with intricate plotting under the surface, vs. extensive deliberation and rewriting. The 1st approach is harder to learn, but easier once you master it.
