First things first, I want to give thanks to GiroudJD, chicken hawk and Held For Ransom. Really inspirational and lots of good content in the threads from your generosity.

I was listening to a recent James Altucher podcast (who did an AMA here awhile back) and talked about writing small 30-50 page books and doing it across lots of topics. I'm going to start with topics I actually know rather than write for the trend.

I don't really read fiction and I don't really know how to "write for market". So I decided to write about the only thing I know, managing money using derivatives. It's probably a very small niche and who knows if it will sell. The thought came from people asking me "i have $X where should I invest?"

I've created this to keep me motivated. So far I only have the chapter outlines and a few paragraphs underneath each topic to get me going.

I'm about 1800 words right now, will try to chip away at each chapter daily after my 9-5 slowlane job
