Writing Mastery

Get Rid of Writer's Procrastination and Put Your Words to Work For You Now with: Writer's success. This is 100% No Risk to You

Have you been dreaming of writing a book this year? According to a recent survey the New York Times reported, 81% of people feel that they have a book in them and should write it. Why not join the list of authors who acted on that thought?

Writing a book is a great way to position you to charge higher fees, create additional income streams and go on more vacations. A book will expand your exposure, add credibility and increase your opportunities for adventure. Still not convinced? Here are 7 more exciting reasons you should write a book now:

1. Write a book now; for now is better than later. Kill procrastination by acting now. Sign up for a course? Read a good book about book writing. Sketch out your book writing plan. Remember you become a successful author the minute you start moving toward your worthwhile book goal. I don’t know anyone that regrets they wrote a book. But I know plenty of people that regret they didn’t do it sooner.

2. Extend your reach to the world. When your book is ready for purchase, many people will get it from all over the world. With your extended reach, opportunities for you to interact with people outside of your local area will come. Write a good book; make it easy for your subscribers and customers to tell their friends and associates. Remember, referrals always make the best customers and bring a higher rate of sales.

3. Write a book and go places you’ve never gone. At the least, your book will travel to countries and places you’ve never gone. Better yet, add speaking about your book’s topic to your list of services and watch new doors and opportunities for you open. Either way, writing your book will open opportunities to go places you may not get to go any other way.

4. Write a book and create multiple income streams. Don’t just plan a one book event but plan a series of books. It’s important to expand your thinking to the possibilities after your book is published. Plan to produce articles, books and updates that help your readers and help you profit from your passion. Each new book or related material will create new profit opportunities, further enhance your visibility and reinforce your credibility as an expert.

5. Write a book and become famous. Grow your name to fame. Write a book filled with success experiences that motivate your audience to give more, do more or share more. Share your experiences to inspire your audience. Share how you overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges in your field. It will motivate your audience to think if you did it; they can do it too.

6. Write a book and make your mother proud. Intertwine stories into your non-fiction manuscript. Entertain your audience, make them laugh; they’ll love you for it. Best of all, your family, your friends and your mother will be so proud to tell all their friends about your book.

7. Write a book and get paid higher fees. writing a book elevates you to expert level. You gain instant credibility just by having author behind your name? And that added credibility gives you the power to increase your fees to expert level up to 400% and more.

Are you ready to join the ranks of successful authors? You don’t have to call your family to tell them you’ll be late again today. You won’t even have to pull in more people to help you work harder. I can’t think of a more opportune way to change your bottom line and even your life than by writing a book. Go ahead; write your best book now and prosper.

Step into a bookstore or a library and you are surrounded by books. Walk up to a stranger and ask them if they have ever wanted to write a book. Chances are they will say yes and tell you right off what their book idea is. So why oh why are there so few authors. Really, how many authors do you know?

Why, when so many people have wonderful book ideas, are there so few authors?

The answer…

Life.

Time, fear, money, family…they all get in the way of people attaining their dreams. What is getting in your way?

The only difference between the authors of all the books on the bookstore shelves and all the folks with dreams of writing a book is the published authors did not let life get in the way of becoming a published author. They make time to write a book – why? Because they know that writing and publishing a book will change their life.

They know that writing and publishing a book will provide a tremendous amount of accomplishment. Have you ever set your mind to accomplishing something difficult? It can be anything from spring cleaning the house from top to bottom to running a marathon. How did you feel when you were done? Tired maybe but probably tremendously satisfied with your efforts and the experience. writing a book will not make you feel tired, unless you are staying up late to write it! However, the satisfaction you receive once your book is complete and in print will be beyond compare. Imagine being able to pull your book up on Amazon.com or being able to say to a customer, associate, or friend – let me give you a copy of my book. I can tell you it is a fantastic feeling.

They know that writing and publishing a book will change people’s lives – it opens up tremendous opportunities. When you write a book, no matter what the topic, it will have an effect on the thoughts, actions, and lives of others. For example, imagine you wrote a book on home organization. Pretty straightforward topic, right? Now imagine what happens to all of the people who buy your book and heed your advice and guidance? They are going to start to live more organized and happier lives. They may contact you to ask you for help in other areas, the media may contact you as an organization expert; you may even be approached by the manufacturer of organization products. Now this is a simple example, imagine if you wrote a book about living with diabetes or healthy lifestyles!

They know that writing and publishing a book will increase credibility, and income. Think about your favorite hobby or activity. Do you have a book on the subject? Would not it be great to have the author of that book in your home to give you their personal advice? Of course it would, authors are considered experts, plain and simple. If you’ve written a book you’re held in high regard and you’re the expert. What does this mean? It means your credibility on the subject is increased. It also means people will turn to you for guidance, not just turn to you – pay you for your knowledge on the subject. When you write a book you can use it as a business calling card, a marketing tool, or, and this is the big payoff, the beginning of a product line. For example, if you write a book on home organization then you can sell organization workshops, organization products, organization software, and one on one organization consulting. All of these products will be leveraged off of the fact that you wrote a book and are an expert on organization.

So….what is your book going to be about and when are you going to write it?

There are many writers that say that you don’t need to plan before you write a novel. They say that the novel will just grow as they write. They say that planning stifles their creativity. Most people who don’t plan their novel never finish it. Planning your novel provides a sense of security and allows your creativity to bloom in ways you never dreamed of. Here are the five main reasons you should plan before you write your novel.

1. Planning your novel helps you avoid writer’s block. Even if you start out with the most brilliant idea for your novel, it’s easy to get bogged down in the details once you start to write. Sometimes there may seem to be too many choices and sometimes there may not be enough. If you’ve planned ahead, you can refer to your plan to see what should happen next. No more writer’s block!

2. Planning can help you write a novel quickly. You want to finish your rough draft as quickly as possible. It’s important to get it finished so you can get that feeling of satisfaction of completing a long project. The sooner it’s finished, the sooner you can revise it and publish it and start your next project.

3. Planning before you write a novel can help avoid extensive rewrites. When you are writing without a plan, you may begin to write in a certain direction. Then you realize that’s not where you want the novel to go or you reach a dead end. Then you have to backtrack and write those scenes again or replace them with new ones. When you have a plan, your rewriting phase is more about fine-tuning.

4. When you plan before you write, you end up with a better novel. You’ll be able to weave in subtle connections between the characters because you can see how all the big pieces fit together. You’ll be able to weave the subplots together more seamlessly. There won’t be characters who have no place or subplots that leave the reader hanging because they were never resolved.

5. Planning before you write keeps you from getting discouraged and giving up. A huge number of people begin to a novel and never finish it. When your novel starts to get complicated and you’re feeling discouraged, you can look at your plan. Suddenly you realize that the ending is already in sight. You know that you have a great novel because you have a great plan. All it’s going to take is a little time and effort.

Having a plan doesn’t mean that things can’t change once you begin to write. In fact, things will change once you begin to write. As your characters have conversations and interact with each other on the page, you may discover a new way for their relationship to develop or a better way to solve the character’s problem. That’s the nature of the creative process. Planning only provides a framework on which to build and that framework will help you write an amazing novel.
