INSPIRE ME TO WRITE!

"I can vividly remember the first sentence I ever wrote in my very first book! It seems like a long time ago. Yet, had I not written that first sentence, I wouldn't have finished that first book, or the second, and so on. And so it goes. Every journey, however long it may be, begins with a single step. But you must take that first step. Once you do, each step takes you closer and closer to your goal."
-Richard Carlson, Ph.D from Don't Worry, Make Money

BOOK NOTES

Treat your book as a business.

It was one thing to write your family’s history book. You had no plans of marketing it to the world. It’s another thing to write a book about a topic in your field. Your expectations are different and quite higher. You can expect your book about a topic in your field to brand your business, make you a sought after expert and draw hundreds of new clients.

===

"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public."
Winston Churchill

Are you only able to work on your book dream on the weekend or in small blocks of time? No worries; you are a weekend warrior in book writing. Welcome to the Weekend Warrior Book Writing Club! No, you don't have to pay dues to join. You need only be a person struggling to fit book writing into a small block of time.

First think about all the benefits you are missing by not fulfilling your book dream. Let's put a time table to that thought. What would happen if you didn't get your short book written in the next 90 days? You'd miss having a book to make your business stand out in the crowd. Your business would definitely take longer to build to a whopper success.

You wouldn't have the competitive edge you'd have as an expert with a book. You'd miss out on the adventures and opportunities waiting for you on the other side of getting your book done. And worst of all, you'd miss the extra profits you could make by charging up to 400% more on your fees as author.

Now that you are properly motivated to cash in on all that you are missing by not getting your book done. Here are 5 simple strategies to get your book written using your weekends or any small blocks of time.

1. Write your book and make it easy on yourself. Remove the pressure to complete a big book. Instead choose to write a short book. Divide your monster book into 2 books. Use shorter sentences and paragraphs. Your copy is more compelling when you are succinct and to the point. Write shorter chapters; shorten your stories and examples. Make your book an easy read. If you have a fairly complex topic, spread out your stats and tables. Section your details and develop your book into several parts.

2. Write your book with an intention statement. Do you have a plan in place? Write on purpose. Don't set yourself up to fail by not planning. Even if it's a simple intention goal like "I complete my book (title of book) this year by (date and year.) I educate myself and do what it takes to complete it." Set one and write it down so you can hit the mark.

3. Write your book as a top priority. Commit to a writing schedule. Think about your priorities right now. Can you arrange to write at least 7-10 hours a week? If you have to let something go that is not high on your priority list, do it. Now is your time to succeed in writing your book. Later is not better. Set yourself up for success. Write a book this year by making your book goal a top priority.
