Charlene Wang is a product manager at Google. In other words, she's got a hectic, demanding day job, and yet she found time to write and publish her new book, Model Breakers. Charlene also runs a popular newsletter on Substack called LivingOS. 

Last year, Charlene set herself a goal of writing 200 articles in 200 days, and so far, she's exceeded that goal. It's fantastic to hear about a writer who's built a side hustle while working a day job. 

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us work from home and no longer commute, which allows us more free time. Charlene eliminated her commute, and she had the extra time during her mornings and evenings to write.

Charlene also discusses how online tools can help with writing and how she got into writing newsletters.

In this episode we discuss:

• The types of topics Charlene covered in her 200 days of writing
• Where the idea for LivingOS came from
• Which articles were most popular with readers
• How to build an email list
• The process for using apps when writing
• How is writing a book different from writing a book
• How to launch and promote a book
