This week's video is about 10 concrete ways that I learn in public, and I'm putting my money where my mouth is by also announcing that I'm starting to write a book in public.

This isn't a marketing ploy. I don't have a book written out yet, I've never written a book before, and I'm just starting. I really am fascinated by the idea of writing a book in public, angst and insecurities and all. I don't know how this is going to turn out, but you can give me feedback on the outline of my book right now! It's called Doing It in Public. I'll post a follow-up video in the next few weeks about my plans for it, including writing routines, tools I'm using (I'm not just using Obsidian), and how I'm incorporating feedback.

It's all a little scary. But exciting, too!

Enjoy the video, and have a great weekend!
