Hey there, I feel stuck and wondered if there such a thing as writing a shorter book as a first timer? Ironically because most people who struggle with anger need the SOLUTION not theory. Feedback is welcomed!

Hey there, I'm wondering where I can get some good references for my book on anger and codependency. Google Scholar I know of but it looks like I need to pay? Are there others?

Let's all say congratulations to @David Diaz Sr he is a friend of mine I met at a business conference over a year ago, and spoke about him working on his book. He finally just got his book launched 🚀 As a cancer survivor, Dave wrote this supportive guide What He's Not Saying for partners of men with prostate cancer. This book reveals the unspoken emotions men often hide and offers practical ways to stay connected, provide support, and maintain intimacy. It helps couples navigate the journey together while preserving strength, closeness, and emotional balance. This book is on sale today for $15.99 ➡️ GO GET IT ON AMAZON

Hey there! I'm trying to see if I can take my anger slides in Canva and turn them into a book. I can't do much with the free version of grammarly but wondered if that's where I should start?

Most people are making AI way harder than it needs to be. Claude isn’t here to magically write a perfect book for you. That’s not the goal. The real value is using it to make the process faster, smoother, and less overwhelming so you actually finish your book. ➡️ The way I look at it is simple: use Claude for the parts where you get stuck. If you’re sitting there staring at a blank page, that’s when you bring it in. If your ideas feel messy or you’re not sure how to structure your book, that’s when it helps the most. You don’t need it for every single step—just the ones slowing you down. Where I see people go wrong is they jump straight into “write my book.” That’s not the move. Claude is way more powerful at the beginning stages. I’d start by using it to brainstorm ideas, come up with angles, and build out an outline. Once you have direction, everything else becomes easier. Another thing that makes a huge difference is how much context you give it. The more you feed it...your notes, your rough drafts, even messy thoughts—the better it performs. This is kind of the cheat code. Most people give one sentence and expect magic, but Claude works best when it actually understands what you’re trying to do. 💥 I also wouldn’t treat it like a writer. I’d treat it like an editor. Instead of asking it to create everything from scratch, I’d use it to clean things up. Make your writing clearer. Make it sound more natural. Tighten sections that feel too long. That’s where it really shines and where you’ll still keep your voice. And don’t try to do everything in one shot. Work in smaller sections. Focus on a paragraph, a section, or a specific idea at a time. You’ll get way better results than trying to generate an entire chapter all at once. At the end of the day, Claude is only as good as how you guide it. If you’re vague, the output will be vague. If you’re clear and specific, it becomes a really powerful tool. But it’s not replacing you. It still needs your direction, your ideas, and your voice.
