I started writing an e-book with maths exercises but I am kinda lazy and I get distracted very easily. I know just how much work goes into proofreading, formatting, etc — so huge congrats to you (and to your wife).
If you can do this without feeling guilty, you’ll have a polished eBook, screenplay, book, etc. I have free rein for many of the posts and have enjoyed coming up with topics of interest to me.
If someone has value information or interesting antidote but no current online presence I don’t see why an ebook would not be an effective vehicle, coupled with a creative a marketing strategy.

I would spend 60-70% of my time and energy nailing that opening.
Just a thought.I occasionally fail at the “get up on time” hurdle… But in seriousness, YES! I suspect you’d need to allow more time — perhaps 60 days rather than 30.I’m actually going to be writing my fiction novel during NaNoWriMo next month.
I’m going to do it. Love your process and the way you chunk it down. )LuLu.com and Blurb.com are the two other major contenders here. If you’ve already done the research, I’m sure you can make really good progress before the end of November (even if you still need to do a little bit of editing or finishing off next month).

A simple bullet list will do, but every now and then, I get stuck.Two tips: #1: Don’t edit.
Some topics are popular ones but they’re not necessarily ones people will pay for.This outline is extremely detailed and informative.
