Confused

Still going strong, although I'm definitely feeling it. I ramble a bit when I talk and find it hard to focus. I'm trying to eat at the beginning of each 3.5 hour awake period so that i'll have some energy. What's interesting is that I usually go to sleep feeling good and wake up very hungry.

I can't really describe the sleep. It's almost like I wake up before I realize I'm asleep. Every time I wake up my first thought is "Crap, I haven't fallen asleep yet." and then I realize that I was just asleep.

One of my friends just told me that Arrested Development put out two new episodes. That's great... An easy hour to knock out.

I'm making spinach salad with chicken, apples, and walnuts. How deluxe does that sound? I have an awesome new method of making salads.

Put all the stuff you want in a paper bowl, then put another paper bowl upside down on top and shake it mercilessly. When I write it here it doesn't seem that clever for some reason. It is, though.

How To Write Your First Book in 48 Hours

As I've mentioned, I'm not an authority on making money in general, but I do make a livable income through my two books, Make Her Chase You and Life Nomadic. I won't claim to be an expert on writing books, but I definitely have enough experience that I can probably offer a good starting point for anyone interested in doing the same. In this article I'm going to focus on how to actually write the thing, as I've come up with a pretty cool system, and then in the next I'll talk about how to actually publish it and make money.

After leaving Smiley Media, the only real job I've ever had, a friend of mine asked me why I'd never written a book about pickup. I didn't have a good answer, so I went home and decided I'd write the thing. Forty eight hours later the rough draft was completed, and a month later I was selling copies of it. Point is-- writing a book is actually a lot easier than you might expect. If you take my advice, you could easily have most of the hard work done in the next couple days, week, or month. So here's the system:

Step One: Chaotic Outline

The Hustler's MBA

I've been saying that college is obsolete for a very long time. I dropped out in 2000, because even back then I could see that it was a really poor value proposition. I didn't predict this because I'm some crazy genius, but because I'm willing to discard emotional attachment and stare plainly at the facts.

School is outrageously expensive, leaving graduates with a debt (or net expenditure) of tens of thousands of dollars-- sometimes even one or two hundred thousand. There are some things that are worth that amount of money, but for many people school isn't one of them. In fact, apart from very specific cases, I think that school is a bad thing, not worth doing even if it was free.

That's not to say that school has no benefits whatsoever. It does, and although I left with zero additional skills after my three semesters there, I had a good time and benefited from the social aspect. The problem is that you can't just compare college to doing nothing at all. You have to compare it to what you COULD have done.
