Most dads don’t quit on their dream of writing a book because they stopped caring.
They quit because life got loud.
With full time work, marriage, and kids, exhaustion is natural and free time feels like a myth.
Our calendars and lives are so full, the idea of adding something new...especially something BIG...feels like a pipe dream.
I always wanted to write a book but somewhere along the way, the idea started to feel… unrealistic.
In this video, I share what it’s actually been like writing my debut novel in my 40s as a busy dad with limited time, inconsistent energy, and a very full life.
I talk about:
00:00 My Writing Journey Begins
01:00 The Early Writing Blueprint - my writing system
03:00 Writer or Career Dad? The binary fallacy
03:52 Overcoming identity blocks to write your book
04:35 Atomic Habits for Authors
06:35 Building a Writing System
08:59 Learning as You Go
10:05 It's Not Too Late
11:30 Your Writing Action PlanThis is NOT hustle culture.
It's not "grind or die."
It’s about writing in the margins of real life, and trusting that small, consistent effort adds up.
If you’re a dad (or a mom!) who’s always wanted to write a book but feels behind, exhausted, or unsure where to start, I made this video for people like us.
You’re not too late.
You’re not lazy.
And your story still matters.
