Perhaps the most important book writing tips of all surround getting started writing your own book after spending a lifetime thinking, dreaming and wishing that you had your own book or information product.
To many of us, getting motivated to write our first book has to be one of the most frustrating, challenging experiences of our entire life, and it’s no wonder when we consider how much pressure we are putting on ourselves to write a successful book.
We’ve coached hundreds of book writers and information product publishers over at InfoMarketer’sZone, the first place we start is to make sure we build and grow motivation over your project so that you not only get started, but get your writing project finished – much faster than most aspiring writers ever thought possible.
Think about the emotional attachment you have constructed in your mind aobut book writing?
For many, book writing is a romantic dream about an entirely new lifestyle where they escape the daily grind, get to work from home (or just about anywhere), can work when they want and not only earn massive wealth, but may even become famous.
Not MUCH pressure right?
That’s the pressure we put on ourselves when writing our book – but what about our schooling?
We were taught from a very early age that writing means mastering the English language – and let’s face it, that is a lifelong pursuit in itself.
We study cases where authors take years – even lifetimes – to write a book that sells, and even then, many died poor and tragic deaths.
It’s no wonder such a small sample of us ever actually do end up writing books and information publishing.
Book Writing Tips – Jack Up The Motivation
Book Writing Tip 1 – Get started. Just as with anything in life, the longer we think and stew over something, the further away from getting started we get. To instantly halt the emotion, anxiety and doubt wrapped up with writing your own book, just get started writing – for many people, that is enough to turn them from habitual dreamers, into habitual writers.
Book Writing Tip 2 – I like to always think in terms of pain versus pleasure, if you have not yet reached the motivation level to get started with your writing, then the pain you associate with writing (or of failing with your writing) is greater than your pleasure to avoid the pain of NOT writing.
That has to change…find things in your life that can motivate you to BUILD the pain of not taking action now.
Look at your age, write down how many years you have been dreaming about writing your own book and see how ridiculous that really is. Put pressure on yourself to look realistically at your chances of writing a book if you continue your current mindset.
Build the pain of NOT writing and you will elevate your motivation for getting started.
Book Writing Tip 3 – Once you start, don’t let your foot off the gas. Whatever the reason, you want to keep your momentum. Writing can be somewhat of a rollercoaster – you are up and then you are down, so keep writing through it all. It may seem like you are in a zone, but if you let up, even for a day or two, you could find yourself back in dreaming mode.
Use these book writing tips to finally push past your desire and dreams to write and actually begin living your dream. For many of our members over at InfoMarketer’sZone this is the most satisfying thing you can do in your personal professional life – so why not get started now.
