I like writing, and maybe you do, too. Seth Godin recently posted some advice for would-be authors (Link).
I have no immediate plans to write what you might call a “business” book, but I’ve been an amatuer writer since I was about ten and began to bang out a fantasy epic on a typewriter in the basement. The entire epic had a striking resemblance to the “Lord of the Rings,” but I seem to have been writing something or other ever since.
Anyways, being something of a wannabe author, I still dig “advice lists” like this. Enjoy.
