You don’t need a better outline. You need a better starting point.

Most nonfiction authors get stuck trying to organize too early. Start with your stories. Let the message emerge. Structure will follow.

Save this for when writing feels heavy.

Do you read the acknowledgement section of a good book? I find it fascinating. I think it gives a glimpse of the author as a person and all the people who held them together. Do you read or skip the acknowledgements?

Crosshairs “to live in the crosshairs is to occasionally yield to the dominance of the sniper’s lens. in this realm, two types of submission are recognizable. the first is to dodge, to acknowledge the sniper’s omnipotence, to shield oneself from death and to persist within the boundaries of the scope’s vision. the second is to stand defiantly, touched with a dash of madness, unconcerned with the meticulous contemplation of one’s past or future. it is to be utterly devoted to the present, a moment of absolute submission to the now.” Abdaljawad Omar (rusted radishes) best of the net 2025: nonfiction selection @bestofthenetanthology

I’m over 100 pages into writing a nonfiction book and I’ve hit a wall. Not writing, remembering what I already wrote.

Research is a gift—until it becomes a trap. You don’t need to use it all. You just need enough to move your point forward. The rest can stay in the notes.

Writing isn’t a straight path—it’s switchbacks, dead ends, and unexpected views. The meandering is part of the discovery.

You’re not behind. You’re building. Every messy draft, every hesitant sentence is laying the foundation for the work that lasts.
