Little Pigs Went to Market but One Went Faster
I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals." --Winston Churchill
No, I'm not calling you a pig. Now that I have your attention, I want to talk with you about finishing your book fast and getting it to market faster. Did you start on your book and lose focus? You would love the rewards of a completed book but wonder where you could fit writing into your schedule.
Don't be discouraged; let me share some tips that will jumpstart your writing again. Trust me, if it feels like you've been stuck in the mud, these tips will pull you out. I call them the habits of highly effective authors. Successful writers set up a system of writing using steps that become habits. Practice the habits below and write your best book now:
1. Do a reality check.
Do you have a plan in place? Don't set yourself up for failure 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 target.
2. Setup a writing schedule.
Keep it simple. How much time can you devote to your book? Schedule
at least 10 hours per week. Snatch an hour here and an hour there, if
you must. When my schedule is tight, I write one hour in the wee hours
of the morning and one hour late at night. I have to prioritize and
so must you if you want to get it done. I must admit since I am an early
bird, my early morning writing takes less revision than the late night.
3. Act now.
Too many of us for too long have hid behind the words, "It's too
hard." Now is the time to take charge of our fears and conquer
them. First things first, to overcome procrastination -the fear of failure-
is to act now. Most times the bottom line of procrastination is fear
of failure.

destroy fear. Each successful step of your system will deal a death
blow to fear.
4. Avoid marathon writing.
Have you ever thought, "I have to get away from everything to write
a successful book?" No you don't. I know several novelist and non-fiction
book writers who had to write during a long commute to get their best
book written and out to the world. They accomplished it because they
systematically worked on their book until it was done. In the midst
of your busy life, designate your time to write (work on your book)
with a goal to completion. (Reasonable time to completion)
5. Use the tracking approach.
I can't keep up with where I am after interruptions of life. It is a
common challenge to find your place after being interrupted with family,
work and daily life. After all that's why many think you must get away
to get it done effectively. Yet, there's hope for those who can't get
away or choose not to. Successful writers all over the world use the
tracking approach. They succeed because they commit to doing a little
each day.
There are 2 methods you could use for your tracking. Time is the method
where you commit to a writing a certain amount of time each day. With
the cumulative factor involved your commitment doesn't have to be that
much. For example, to accomplish my book writing goals I commit to writing
one hour a day in my most productive time. For me it is right after
my meditation and reading time. With this method don't be overly concerned
about how much you write, just keep the time commitment.
The other method is focused on output. Commit to writing a certain number
of words or pages a day, perhaps 750-1,000 words or approximately three
and a half pages double-spaced text. The key factor is to stick to it
until completion.
Even so, nothing can happen until that first draft is completed. Procrastination
is ultimately based on fear of failure. It has stopped countless of
book projects and stolen the vision of many more. Don't allow procrastination
to become a giant towering over your book dreams.
Then there are others who are not afraid but simply get bogged down
with lack of focus and a plan. Develop the habits outlined above and
you'll be surprised at what you accomplish. Write your best book now
and bring it to market faster!
