In this short video, the speaker (Mike) answers a frequent question about how he manages to write many books. He emphasizes the importance of accountability, describing how he works with a partner (AJ) during cabin retreats and constant Zoom check‑ins, and how he joins daily co‑writing sprint sessions with other authors. These sprints, typically an hour each morning, provide motivation and result in a large volume of writing, most of which is discarded but occasionally yields valuable "gold flakes" that become book material. He advises viewers to either find a writing partner, join or create a sprint group, or combine both strategies to boost output.

A common question that I'm asked is, Mike, how do you write so many books? How do you get so much done? One technique is to have accountability with a partner. I don't write alone. I have someone that works with me, and AJ and I will do a cabin retreat and we'll just write and write. We're on Zoom all the time. We live nearby each other and we meet up. So it's having a partner. If you don't have a direct partner, join a sprint group. So another component I have is every morning I team up with other authors and we write together. And seeing other people writing motivates me to write. We spend an hour a day writing together and I get tons of writing done. Admittedly, most goes to the trash, but sometimes there's gold flakes to be extracted from that, and that's the stuff that goes into my books. Join or create a sprint, or get a partner, or both.
