Blog Post: I Wrote a Book
I’ve always loved words. I’ve also always imagined I’d write a book—preferably while tucked away in a rustic cabin wearing an oversized turtleneck, sipping tea while snow fell gently outside.
That is not what happened.
When Simon & Schuster slid into my inbox with an unexpected offer to write Do This, Not That: Career on a tight, four-month timeline, I said yes immediately. What followed was a caffeine-fueled sprint of 18-hour writing days, a lot of dry shampoo, and more wine than recommended.
The result? A career guide packed with 81 no-nonsense lessons, practical scripts, and honest advice for navigating real-life workplace stuff—like job hunting, micromanagers, or that one coworker who clips their nails at their desk.
It wasn’t romantic. But it was worth it.
