1/ As the author of seven books I am interested in the future of books and ways authors can earn a living writing them. The stronger the incentives are to write books, the great more books will be written. Charlie Munger: “Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.”

2/ The ability of authors and other creators to generate income from their work is undergoing huge changes. Many authors and publishers have reached the conclusion that paid subscriptions are the business model that can best assure their financial future. Authors gain control!
3/ The monetary cost of creating tweet was approximately zero. As a volunteer my revenue is also zero since I have no paywall or business model. We need to find new ways to enable creators to earn an attractive living from their work. @stevesi's approach here is a way to do that.
4/ The motivation for writing any book should be to tell a story, just as starting a business should be motived by a desire to solve a real problem. Monetary motivations should be secondary since the probability of achieving financial success is very low. 25iq.com/2017/09/22/a-h…
5/ For many people writing a book can be cathartic, which is a fancy word for emotionally beneficial. By sharing the story you feel joy in the telling and can do things like thank people who helped you. With a newsletter you don't need a publisher's permission to publish.
