Many
speakers, consultants, and small business owners alike feel confident
with communicating their message orally. They can spout their
message in an elevator speech with the accuracy of a scientist.
But when it comes to putting it on paper, some grown men &
women end up crying like a baby. Through speaking and writing,
I have discovered 9 myths that often block others from writing
their best book now. I promise. It's not hard once you know exactly
what to do.
Successful writers set up a system of writing. Destroy these
myths and setup your system of writing with nine easy solutions.
Myth #1 It's too hard.
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.

Action will destroy fear. Each successful step of your system
will deal a death blow to fear.
Myth #2 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.
Solution: Avoid marathon writing. 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)
Myth #3 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.
Solution: Set yourself up for success use the tracking approach.
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.
Winner?s Note: You may ask how do I get started after interruptions
or even in my daily allotted slot so that I don?t spend a lot
of time re-locating where I stopped?
Start your daily writing session by re-reading the last words
you wrote the day before. This will get you back in the flow.
The continued cycle of review will create a momentum that will
keep you going to completion. Another piece of advice is to
create a support system that will help isolate you from telephone
calls and interruptions during your daily Tracking Session.
Myth #4 I have to complete each chapter in order.
It'?s called linear writing when you complete each chapter
in order. You don?t have to write each chapter one after the
other. If you happen to get stuck on chapter two, you could
be stuck a very long time. I think this type of thinking comes
from grade school where we are ritually taught to do everything
in order.
If you have been thinking that way stop right now, no need
to raise your hand. You have my permission to work on whatever
chapter moves you or you feel passion bubbling for at the moment.
Feeling stuck on a chapter, try another. There you have it now
go with the flow.
Solution: Don't become chained to writing in order. Jump around
and fill in the blanks. Review your chapters and whatever subject
or topic you most drawn to, begin there.
Writing a book is a journey. Most journeys go so much smoother
with a map or in our case a writing plan. Taking the simple
steps above will
get you started fast and keep you going to completion. Start
today
then complete and release your significant message in a book
to the world.
