So I’m sitting in Stabucks, working on Chapter 9 of the upcoming book. Here’s my pictorial essay, HOW TO WRITE A BOOK:
1. Track down every media guide the person has ever appeared in, then photocopy all the pages …
2. Call every person from those media guides, ranging from superstars to ballboys to secretaries …
3. Go to Harvard’s library and uncover every possible article that even references the guy’s name …
4. Read every article, with a highlighter (or BOLD if they’re on computer) …
5. Organize everything chronologically, so you can go back and smoothly dig the info you need …
6. Start writing, chronologically …
7. Lots and lots of cocaine.
