Hi Mark,

Here, have a hundred https://gitlab.com/duffee/pdl-100  (merge requests
welcome ;)
or even 101 https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1233413

Everyone wants a book, but the enthusiasm runs out of steam because the
project is too big for the amount of spare time one person has to devote to
it.  My suggestions:
1. start small and be specific.
2. have a vision for what you want to accomplish and how to achieve it.
3. schedule time for it in your week and follow through until you finish.

This weekend, figure out what itch you want to scratch and then sketch out
the spine of the story you want to tell, what sections/chapters you want.
Focus on _one_ part of PDL and start blogging on it.  My technique is to
write code trying to solve a problem in one terminal while writing up my
internal monologue in another.  Then it's just a matter of editing.
blogs.perl.org and dev.to are just two of the platforms that like Perl
content.

Starting a PDL book is like crafting your own lightsaber, my young padawan,
a task that every PDLer undertakes to complete their training.

best,
Boyd
