If any of you have ever thought about writing a book, listen to an interview I had with podcaster Russel Hale (picture on left). What I liked about this interview is that Russel focused on the process I went through to write the book, not the topic of the book.

Russel rambles on about Paris Hilton at the beginning of the podcast. My interview with him starts at the midway mark. His views about Hilton are interesting, so feel free to listen. Or, you can jump ahead to my interview with him.

Here are the points covered in Episode 52 of the Ramble With Russel Podcast:

• The advice one bestselling author gave me on how to generate lots of content.
• How mind mapping helped me move beyond writer’s block.
• Why I’m now a believer of outlines (and why I’ll start doing these for my podcasts).
• Tips on how to write a book without losing customers or your full-time job.
• The one thing that happened to me while going through the writing process that almost affected my bottom line.
• Ways to market a book on a shoestring budget.
• The dangers of working with a book editor and how you can maintain control over your words.
• The one tool I used to invite people to join me in my book writing process while I was writing the book.
