Dear Friend,

I just came across a Twitter post that horrified me to my very core. It was someone subtly bragging about their "optimal morning routine for peak creativity." Let me share this personal nightmare with you:

The person wakes up "naturally" at 5 AM (sure they do), followed by precisely 10 minutes of gratitude journaling, then 20 minutes of meditation. Next comes the cold shower therapy, followed by a green juice concoction with exactly 17 organic ingredients. Then they dive into their morning pages——three of them, handwritten of course——before some light yoga and breathwork.

But wait, there's more! They then do their productivity journaling, followed by goal visualization, mirror affirmations, and email processing using the GTD method. Finally, at 8:30 AM, after hours of "preparation," they start their actual work.

If you venture into the wasteland of Obsidian-fueled optimization bros, you'll find countless posts like this. They're flexing their morning routines like they've discovered the secret formula to success.

These posts go viral. They get shared. They get bookmarked. And suddenly, everyone thinks that copying Hemingway's morning routine will make them write like Hemingway. Here's the truth: Writers were crazy. Their routines were even crazier. Want to copy their routines? Good luck with that.

This obsession with morning routines, productivity systems, and "optimal" workflows is what I call majoring in the minors. You're focusing on things that don't matter while avoiding the one thing that does:

Writing the Freaking Book!

It's like spending hours arranging your gym clothes, planning your protein intake, and creating the perfect workout playlist——but never actually lifting weights. Which is exactly why I've been so desperate to free you from morning routine hell. To rescue you from the endless optimization trap that keeps most writers stuck forever.

Because here's what nobody posting their morning routines will tell you: The most successful writers I know have exactly ONE routine:

They Write!

That's it. That's the secret. That's the magic formula. Some write in the morning. Some write at night. Some write in coffee shops. Some write in silence. But they all do one thing: They write actual books that actual people can actually read.

This is exactly why Issue No. 24 of The Scott Scheper Letter is all business. No fluff. No productivity porn. No morning routine madness. Just hard-core lessons and teachings for writing a book in three days. I give you a card-by-card breakdown of how the most effective books are created and laid out.

Think about that: Instead of spending months perfecting your morning routine, you could have a complete book manuscript in 3 days.

You can get this complete method——the same one over 70 people paid over $5,000 to learn——for just the cost of shipping ($9.86) when you say maybe to a trial of The Scott Scheper Letter.

But you must act now.

Once Issue No. 24 ships, this opportunity disappears forever.

To stay crispy, my friend.
