I remember reading this a while ago - it was my first big introduction into the life of @mcuban and the details of his story. Really great read :)
From Amazon: Using the greatest material from his popular Blog Maverick, Cuban has collected and updated his postings on business and life to provide a catalog of insider knowledge on what it takes to become a thriving entrepreneur. He tells his own rags-to-riches story of how he went from selling powdered milk and sleeping on friends' couches to owning his own company and becoming a multi-billion dollar success story. His unconventional yet highly effective ideas on how to build a successful business offer entrepreneurs at any stage of their careers a huge edge over their competitors.

I will notify you that I am planning on purchasing your book when I get a new job as I just got laid off and circumstances are tight.. but in the mean time!:
I have a great idea for a simple website platform for writer's (of novels) such as yourself where audience's can pay a subscription fee (90% of which goes to the writer) to watch their work's in progress updated daily.. This is only for the author to generate revenue on projects they wish to publicly disclose! I strongly believe this will also create an excellent educational tool for students to view! Example: J.K. Rowling uses this website to start a public novel and generates tremendous profits from the fan weekly subscription fees to watch her write live at her leisured scheduled time slots..Would you yourself not start a novel and keep your viewers/fans updated daily on your writing process? If you could get some of your famous fellow writer's to start a novel on this forum I strongly believe it will go viral! I do not have the technical skills or business connections to facilitate the success of this venture and I am seeking your partnership to develop this platform and launch it on PH! *BONUS FEATURE*: This forum will also hold place for keeping a public journal! ;) I look forward to your thoughts and ideally your participation on this project!
Thanks,
