Engaging with books has significantly elevated my perspective on investing. True wealth isn't built through mere savings; financial freedom stems from strategic investments. I've learned that accumulating wealth hinges on making prudent investment decisions|

I've been developing a book idea for YEARS, and I'm finally ready to start. I have no formal training, so YouTube is my writing mentor. I appreciate your humility, and your generosity in sharing tips like these for apprentices like myself. Thank you Jerry!

His voice is so soothing. It’s like he’s really calm about it all because he trusts you.

I am 74 years old and have never written a book. I am debating between writing a screen play or book. It is a compelling story about a friend of mine who was disabled and ended up being one of the most talented musician, singer and song writer I have ever known. I just hope I can due him justice so other people can know his story. You have filled in many pieces for me so that Ii think I can at least start. Thank you.

1. Establish your writing space. 2. Assemble your writing tools. 3. Break the project into small pieces. 4. Settle on your big idea. 5. Construct your outline. 6. Set a firm writing schedule. (Firm Deadline) 7. Conduct your research. 8. Write a compelling, reader-first, opener. 9. Fill your story with conflict and tension. 10. Turn off your internal editor. (While writing) 11. Don't quit during the Marathon of the Middle. 12. Write a resounding ending. 13. Become a ferocious (aggressive) self-editor. Edit: I highly recommend watching the video too for a better explanation, this is just an overview of the content.

"I dont promise you a best seller." Thumb's up for your genuineness sire.

I am a ten year old. I love reading and writing books. This is my time to shine. I have this competition to write a book and I will be competing against people from 17 other countries. You have helped me complete my book, The awesome adventure of Mom-o-tron. Now all that’s left is winning. Thank you Mr.Jenkins ❤ Anvi

I’ve been writing the same book since I was 13. I’m 20 now and the book has transformed over and over and I know I’ll never publish it but it’s nice to write something for myself and have my own world to escape to

15:55 If you have several ideas, pick the one that is the most emotional because readers remember what moves them. Excellent advice.

I'm not a writer - at least, not for books. But I am making my first indie game. I don't know why or how I stumbled on this video, but I'm glad I did. This is how my game will be brought to life. Thank you for the advice, sir! PS: Loved the quote "Quality is the point."

I suggest one way to know if your idea is "big enough" is if you find that it seems to have A LIFE ALL ITS OWN, and constantly suggests and connects more and more ideas, associations, and emotions. This way you KNOW that your project is a LIVING thing that will thrive in your mind-space. It also insures that you have no shortage of ideas (aka things to writer about!) and your task, then, is reduced to an editorial one, rather than searches for inspiration and, well, just simply "things to write about" in your project. It is a double-edged sword, as the editorial challenge---finding what is vital and should be included vs.what is better left out----IS the heart of the whole deal. (Having a lot of notes/thoughts jotted down ahead of time means you won't be caught-up bereft of possibilities and stimulus. This helps get into that divine state known as FLOW! I might also suggest turning to simple tablet and pen--or pencil, better yet-- which, for some, can help get into the kind of meditative state in which ideas often find themselves being conceived: The hand-movements across the page in hand-writing can find parallels with drawing and painting, and may help some people slow down into that often sought-for creative mind-space.

I wrote 119 books in the last 40 years: no one : My brain : That's three books a year!
