Today I plan to see if I can create a mini book in one day, I’ll use this article to document the progress, process and the tools I use. Most of them will be free, and I hope to have something I can upload to Amazon or Gumroad at the end of the day. Even if I don’t you’ll be able to follow the process.

9 am: Ideas Into Framework

At 9 am every day, I am in my local cafe, having my morning coffee. Today I am using the mobile version of ChatGPT to expand on an idea I have for a book.

The idea is from a comment I had on an article last week, $7 problems.

As you can see, you don’t need a big idea to get started.

This is the “prompt” I used. (misspellings and poor grammar included!) As you can see, I chat with ChatGPT as if it were an assistant, which allows me to brainstorm ideas.

I did intend to write this next week after I finished my current mini book project, but I really like what we came up with this morning, so I intend to try to write this today.

The target is 7500 words or more.
