Asking for Topics for the Writing for Passion Book

I’ve been working on and off on a book that is motivational for authors who want to write for passion. Since some authors who love writing for passion check out this blog from time to time, I thought I’d ask for any topics you’d be interested in me discussing in this book. I’m going to make this book free, so there’s no sense in holding back on a topic that interests you. It’s also going to be a quick read. I’m looking at anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 words.


The goal of the book is to embrace a positive mindset about writing for passion. It’s not a “How To” book. It’s a motivational book.


I’ve just got through a couple of chapters. Here are the topics I’ve already covered:



A brief history of indie (aka Self) publishing over the past decade. (Basically, how writers went from a passion mindset to a “I need to make money” mindset. In other words, how did we get to the place where the focus went to money rather than the simple enjoyment of telling a story.)
Why chasing money won’t make you happy
Why looking to outside sources (awards, bestselling lists, and others’ opinions) don’t lead to happiness
Guarding your writing heart from the critic
Putting yourself in the best financial position you can to be less dependent on sales
Thinking like a writer instead of a publisher

Anyone see anything on the list they would like to see me discuss?
