HERE’S THE TRUTH:You want to write a book…
In fact, you’re excited about your idea and can’t wait for everyone to read it!
Buuuut every time you sit down to write, you can’t figure out how to organize all those great ideas into a cohesive and engaging story.
So what do you do?
You start pantsing…
You know, writing by the seat of your pants, praying to the literary gawds that the words coming out make sense…
But when you look up, all you have is a hodge-podge of scenes and moments and dialogue—but no story.
Cue evil twin…
Tapping on your shoulder, whispering all the reasons you’ll never be a real writer (whatever that means)—leaving you stressing and second-guessing why you ever thought you were good enough to write a book in the first place.
Or maybe you did have a plan…
✔️ You printed all the templates…
✔️ Filled out the character profile questionnaires…
✔️ You listened to all the podcasts…
✔️ Read all the books…
✔️ the articles…
✔️ the appendices…
Only to find thousands of ways to tell your story, yet no idea which solution is best for you.
Now you’re feeling so crushed by information fatigue that you have zero energy left to take the first step…
But you still want to—need to write your book!
You’re ready for change, ready to take action, ready for something to give because your book is the bomb <no, I will not let the 90’s go>
You just need help making it make sense, and cents!
Let’s keep it 💯…
There’s nothing special about wanting to write a book 😬
Everybody and their mama wants to do it! In fact, a 2002 study showed that 81% of people polled dreamed of doing so.
I’d be willing to bet my Anime shirt collection (mucho dinero spent) that the number has increased.
Why? Because we all love a good story, but more than that, we—scratch that, YOU know you have a good story to tell. You know you have something to say that will impact the world.
Or maybe your ambitions aren’t so grand. Maybe the only thing you want to impact is your bank account, and that’s fine, too…
But here’s the gut-punching truth…
No impact can be made and no coins can be had from an unwritten book!
I know this realness is giving Iyanla, Fix My Life…
Thankfully, that’s not the end of the story—pun intended! Before you cue the violins, I want you to know that whether you’ve done the literal most to write your book, or you’ve just been twiddling your thumbs dreaming about doing it, there is a way to cut through the noise and get those words down!
Psst!
Can you handle a lil’ more truth? Welp, here’s a bit of mine…
Remember that part where I said, “You’ve printed all the templates, read all the books, etc.” Did you solemnly shake your head? If so, don’t feel bad. There are tons of other writers who feel the same, myself included.
That’s right, that little nugget was an homage to my past self; the one who chose the DIY route and ended up taking 5 years to finish my first novel.
I’m not saying that’s going to be you. I’m just saying doing things on your own takes time, research, and hella motivation—even if its Ikea-instructions simple.
You could choose to read yet another book about the writing process, sign up for another workshop that’s energizing in the moment, but doesn’t actually move you forward, or fill out new cookie-cutter templates that feel more like “paint by numbers” than writing your dream novel…
or
You could take the short cut!
