Your task for today is to set up your writing environment so that tomorrow you can get started on your book.

We'll spend a lot of time this month talking about your journey as a writer. Today let's think a bit about your reader's journey.

There is no end of topics to write about. Remember, your goal this month is to write a book. It doesn't need to be a best seller or even one that any publisher would sign. If you were unconstrained by the market, what book would you write? (If part of your dream is also to get published, that's ok too.)

Your commitment is to sit down every day and write pages. They don't have to be good pages—they won't be great pages—you'll have plenty of time to fix them later. Keep writing.

A Type II error occurs when what is in my head doesn't make it to the page. I refer to something that I've covered before even though I haven't actually written it down–I've just thought about it. This is both annoying and confusing to the reader.
