Sobre IBD

When you finish writing a book project, you have to ask the important question, 'Did I learn anything from this?' It’s not to fix the book you just finished. It is asked to get ready for the next book and the book after that. David Macpherson writes very short books. His books are 50 to 80 pages. That gives him a lot of chances to think about what he could learn. This book includes the book projects from 2024. There are nearly 25 small books that he wrote.What did he learn? How to trust in inner voice. How to keep writing. How to decide when a book is finished. How to like a book that came out a mess.In a way this is a tutorial, where we follow a writer as he tries to improve his skill. In other ways, this is a memoir of a year of writing. Either way, there is worth in these entries.
