I'm not doing a book yet - I used the challenge as a personal one to explore a few different topics since I'm brand new to writing on Medium.

Today I am super excited because my first piece in The Ascent was published and curated quickly afterwards in Relationships and Self. This is a topic I will eventually turn into a book. https://medium.com/the-ascent/thats-what-love-does-f51e68680a71

Publish it as a free Kindle Unlimited e-book to help me grow my subscriber list, I think?

It is my intention to publish my book and market with a card deck to diagnosed breast cancer patients AND their support network via Breast Cancer Network Australia. Have a current collaboration with my treating hospital who are keen to push the book once printed. Also approaching every other major cancer hospital in the country starting with Olivia Newton John's specialised facility. Go bold or go home!

I submitted this to Age of Awareness on Medium (I'd previously been curated by someone from there), which has 34,000 followers. Crossed fingers: https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/the-broken-bowl-offering-297cf995026

Most people are working from home these days, but when we get back into the office let's try some common courtesy. #ninjawriterbyob

My plan is to turn the challenge into a 3-fer: a short novel, a how to write your first short novel, and a travel guide to the destination that is the setting for the novel-- all self-published on Amazon. Here's Chapter 22 of Broken on Bonaire: https://medium.com/travel-accomplice/every-organization-has-a-hierarchy-ae412aa6b88e

My posts for the BYOB session are focussed on doing a SWOT analysis of myself as a writer, to make a plan to utilize my strengths and improve my weaknesses, to identify my writing interests, and to make a plan for publishing my writing.

Once I'm done with the BYOB challenge, I plan to create a long-form article on how to do a SWOT analysis for a writer.

This content will also form the first half of a book that I'm planning. The book will document my journey from Software Developer to Amateur Writer.

I want to organize it into publishable format using some scripture at the beginning of each chapter

Haven't decided on what to do with the finished BYOB book yet. Trying to complete the challenge first. Here's Day 24 https://medium.com/@lee.anne.a.hancock/yes-marie-kondo-they-spark-joy-3c40afa1b3b4?sk=bd221765d145dafa8dfed5ca85943880

I am not sure yet what I'll do with my finished book. I don't think the content is nesting together very neatly, at least not yet.

Here's my post for the day: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QhWGaQL1nBSGFhx2XovDVeQcxJ5_bldqhFxWwn1FO4M/edit?usp=sharing

My finished BYOB will be an e-book called 2 Sexy 4 my Church, which will be a promo product for the original novel all these characters came from in the first place. And the wonderful world of Ninja Writers will be part of my audience--at least that's the vision!!! https://medium.com/humor-authenticity-magic/how-to-tell-if-your-marriage-is-in-trouble-32c42ab51a7
