I have watched hundreds of videos of book writing but this few minutes video has helped me more than those hundred 1 hour videos I watched. Thank you Ryan.
"And then you start the next one." This is how work gets done, and it's so great to hear it. My respect for you grows more and more as I read and listen to more of your work.
Very inspirational Ryan. I did 27 years in Army as a Scout Pilot across 5 combat tours. I opened a craft beer brewery, divorced, lost my business, my kids, found love, and continue wanting to share my story with others one day. Your work and the messages you share have truly motivated me. I would love to get your advice on getting started. Steve Irving
I was surprised to find you here Ryan I purchased an e book copy of your book Ego is the enemy, God I love it! I had it printed and now it's on my shelf, a rare work of genius. I'm sure it will be one of the books of the ages! Thank you!
Oh MAN! I am tickled to see that you are using a more polished version of what I have come up with as a method myself. You make me smile on many occasions, Ryan. Thank you. I have notecards everywhere though. Gonna put em in a box, put em in a box. lol
A true craftsman, thankyou. Most notably you point out the flaws you see like a trim carpenter who creates a masterpiece but sees his one error he’s still working to refine and points its out to those who would have never seen… I appreciate your writings even with the typos, I hope you take a moment to pause appreciate your own accomplishments!
Fantastic video! I love the up-close footage of your library, the index cards, the Word document with corrections, and alternate book covers. And your books, of course :) Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your process. Very helpful to see I'm not the only one who keeps notes on notes on notes. :). And a good reminder that my book is already written...I just need to format it into a book.
I found this video thanks to participating in the 30 day Stoic Challenge. I will be implementing your note card system starting today. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience!

You should consider doing a "Master Class" on your writing and research process.
He's probably bigger than MasterClass now and he knows it
No, don't say that, Remember "Ego is the enemy"
I have watched hundreds of videos of book writing but this few minutes video has helped me more than those hundred 1 hour videos I watched.
Thank you Ryan.
"and then you start the next one".. What an ending... Thank You Master...

Love the look on your face at the end when you say “and then you start the next one...” :))
Damn. I love the last line. "And then you start the next one."
I like the ending
Loved the video. Would you consider doing a more in depth series on writing a book? Maybe document the whole process start to finish?

Amazing insight into the process an author goes through. Big fan of your writing
Excellent advice!
Your method is cool.. thank you for sharing Ryan..👍
Well done, beautiful book. Hope to read it one day ❤

Thank sir for wonderful information, I did research about ongoing war in South Sudan, I would like to write nonfiction book, I reach chapter two, I need help from you guys....
If using other bits of research from other authors, do you need to get permission or can you just add it to the acknowledgements?
I have never seen someone, more in need of a cellphone, computer, laptop, internet, in my life.
you're awesome!
