- Don't do it to monetize. Do it because you have something to say.
- If you have nothing nice to say, change the name or the gender of your subject, or don't say anything at all. I did a lot of the former and a little of the latter.
- Say great things about the best people—I'm looking at you Luke, Ernie, and Coach Schwartz—It's a karma thing.
- Don't tell other people's stories. Tell your own story. Unless we're talking Spinal Tap.
- Don't expect people to write reviews. People are busy.
- Avoid cheap shots. Deliver fair shots. Or, if you're willing to make your opus a pamphlet, take no shots at all.
- Don't hold back talking about personal failures. Those offer the most valuable lessons.
- Share credit for your victories and singularly own your defeats.
- Bounce, don't break.
- Don't ghost people who helped you when you were down.
- Don't be shy about telling folks where they can find your books
