Hey friends!
For subscribers new and old - a reminder that I'm writing a book. Working title: The Strategic Independent.
For the past year at tomcritchlow.com I've been steadily writing longer and longer "chapter-like" pieces to try and write the book in public and flesh out my ideas. And I noticed that I've got about 30,000 words written on the blog (does that count as roughly 50%? is a book 60k words? sure!).
So I thought it would be fun to pause and take stock of the writing so far. Is it working? What holes in the book outline still need to be filled in?
I'd love your help!
I posted up the full book outline here:

Please dive in with comments, suggestions and ideas for how to make this book something you'd like to read!
What struggles have you had in independent work? What ideas have you not seen explored elsewhere?
I'm using the tool Hypothes.is to power the annotations (think in-line comments just like Google Docs). It's a little clunky (especially on mobile!) but I like the concept and power of in-line comments on the web and Hypothesis are a non-profit (vs the adtech nightmare of Disqus). For now disqus is at the bottom if you feel safer there that's totally fine. Or twitter. Or just reply to the email right now!
I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks
Tom xo
