[Part 2 of 3]

 

In this part we talk about:

• Max's book tour
• The big loss he faced
• Holding your book
• His writing and editing process

 

 

Born into a family of carnival owners in Texas, USA, Maxwell Ivey lost his sight at age 12. Having a natural gusto for life, Max graduated college and became heavily involved in the Eagle Scouts. He also worked in the family business alongside brothers until his father succumbed to lung cancer. Faced with his own mortality, Max made some life-altering changes. He underwent gastric surgery and lost over 250 pounds. He started his own business, buying and selling amusement rides, and learned how to blog using software for visually-impaired people. Overcoming many obstacles, Max made a name for himself online and now shares his experiences on The Blind Blogger.

Max’s favorite things entail teaching and helping others achieve their goals and so he began another business: personal coaching.

With the companionship of his crazy Dalmation-mix, Penny, Max now spends his days singing, reading, blogging, writing, creating videos, and coaching. He’d like to travel the world one day and meet in person his many online friends and clients . . . and a special lady to share his life with, but Penny might have something to say about that!

In this show, we're talking about the Zero Draft.

 

You should try a Zero Draft if:

You're stuck in your writing process.

You're scared of the blank page.

You have a big world to tackle.

You have a series of books and don't know where to start.

 

Here's how the zero draft can help you and how I am using it. And why you shouldn't waste time judging your work.
