By now you know I've spent months compiling research. A book worth reading can't just be one person's opinion; it needs to stand on ground that's already been tested. Now I'm satisfied it does. Time to write.
I finished compiling my notes, hitting 281, way up from 171, which is where the number stood two weeks ago! That doesn't mean the book won't cite other sources; I'm just done combing through historical material. Any notes I add from here will be to plug specific gaps.
I can now do something I haven't had a chance to do yet: give the outline a sober, private review. Some notes cover topics that aren't in the outline; I'll decide if they're worth expanding the book for, or if they get dropped. Most of my notes are already tagged by topic, and I'm working through the untagged ones with Claude's help so the whole collection is searchable. What survives that cut gets woven into drafts, topic by topic.
I mentioned I have the book outlined, and if you'd like me to share it privately with you, just reply and let me know. Let me add that the writing ahead will be entirely mine; I'm just using AI lightly to get organized, not to write.
If you have any marketing data experiences or views you want to share, reply; I’m happy to set up a call. If I use it, you'll get credit in the book.
Thanks,
