## Book Writing Process

### Phase 1: Concept & Outline

**Book Concept Development:**
- **Core Promise:** What transformation will readers achieve?
- **Unique Mechanism:** What's your proprietary framework or method?
- **Target Reader:** Who is this book for? What's their current pain?
- **Author Positioning:** Why are YOU the one to write this book?

**Outline Structure:**
```
TITLE: [Transformation-focused title]
SUBTITLE: [Mechanism or promise expansion]

INTRODUCTION
- Hook: Story or statistic that creates urgency
- Problem: The pain readers are experiencing

```

### Phase 2: Chapter Writing

**Chapter Structure (Per Mike Filsaime):**

Every chapter follows this flow:
1. **Hook** (1-2 paragraphs) - Story, question, or bold claim
2. **Context** (2-3 paragraphs) - Why this matters
3. **Core Teaching** (60% of chapter) - The actual content
4. **Story/Example** (15% of chapter) - Proof and relatability
5. **Action Item** (1-2 paragraphs) - What to do next
6. **Bridge** (1 paragraph) - Transition to next chapter

**Writing Style Guidelines:**

- **3-5 lines maximum per paragraph** (mandatory)
- **Conversational tone** - Write like you're talking to a friend
- **Use ellipses (...)** occasionally for pacing and transitions
- **Bold key concepts** for scannability
- **Break up walls of text** with subheadings every 300-500 words
- **Include stories** - Personal stories, client stories, historical examples
- **Use "you" langu
