Care to explain a bit? My suggestion is to write in the style of Robert Greene, using a large number of real-life examples to illustrate your points.

But what do I know I've never written a book. Good luck! If it doesn’t sale or worse yet get picked up at all you always release it online as a serial to build a fan base.

He threw the entire manuscript in the fire and started over . . . on a work of fiction this time. Ten years later and he's still working on it. Sometimes you just need to play the wrap-it-up song. Advice from a (published) writer: Take your delusional early twentysomething rantings (from when you knew NADA about real flesh-and-blood women), label them as such and turn it into a chapter. A really, really funny one, like "stupid shit I did to get laid." Tell horror stories about your worst dates; people just eat that up. Then, get real. BTW a true sign of wisdom is the ability to breakitdown concisely. Meaning, the end product should actually be really, really SHORT! A way to psych yourself: Imagine you're working on a magazine article instead of a book. Just feeeeeeel the pressure evaporate. AHHHHH. Also, unless you self-publish, some snot-nosed editor working his first real job out of college is going to destroy all your finely tuned prose anyway, so don't even bother stressing about the right word, phrase, or punctuation. Stick with stream-of-consciousness and then clean it up later. The finished product will be unrecognizable from your final draft so just chill.
