What I Learned Writing My First Book

Recently, I tried my hand at writing a book. It's a super-short one based on To-Dos and personal planning, but I explored a lot of elements around how I can write and self-publish a book of their own.

The book is available for free on Google Play only (due to technical reasons), but I've also made a video about the entire process and also my learning from the exciting exercise.

Spoilers: The book was written entirely using free and open-source software, so the video does include a lot of technical details about the process as well.

As usual, you may either watch the video itself or read the entire thing as an article over my website.

Regardless, do provide me your valuable feedback, be it positive or even negative.
