How To Write A Book From Blog Posts

Paul Millerd is incepting danger into my already busy schedule.

I’ve thought of this but hadn’t seen anyone break it down quite this way before.

This applies to blog posts or your notes or your Facebook posts or whatever you regularly do, just FYI.

Will I do it? Maybe someday. Will you?

Short version: Paul shows how to paste a bunch of stuff in Word (or Google or whatever you use), create a Table of Contents, and then start editing/re-organizing/personalizing until you’ve got something worthy of getting outside help on.

Considering how well his book (The Pathless Path) came out, I’m willing to say he’s onto something.

If you have a decent number of blog / newsletter posts and wanted to write a book, here is the process I'd recommend.
Many people get distracted by the "do I self-publish or get a publisher" question - this is just resistance at work.
The first thing I would do is open MS Word
