I wanted to hop on the New Year success planning train and write about my word of the year (WOTY) like Ninja Writers founder Shaunta Grimes.

Then I remembered my goal to write more books this year!

Craig Martelle became a millionaire author and entrepreneur based on his theory of writing twenty books and helping others with his strategy. I have published and contributed to 20+ anthologies. But, I have only published three books where I am the only author. So, I need to write at least seventeen more books this year. Eureka! One of them could be on the WOTY.

I searched WOTY on Amazon and found a couple books on the subject. I noticed reviewer comments stating that the WOTY books should have been a blog post instead of a book.

Those comments made me curious about when you should write a blog post instead of writing a book. I googled it and found a story written by a Medium blogger, Grant Sawyer. I love it when Medium stories show up in top search results!
