Important Talking Points

To avoid blank page syndrome, use a mindmap (Chandler prefers pen and paper for this) and dump all the ideas you have, then group into 4 to 7 chapters
To write each chapter, dump all your ideas for that chatper and then repeat the 4-7 "grouping" process
Choosing a topic for your book: sell pain pills, not vitamins. Find a specific group with a real pain and solve that problem...
Use Google Docs to write your book so you can work on it from anywhere
Consider a "free plus shipping" offer for your book
Give video and audio away for free after people purchase your book
