You have a book in you just trying to get out, and you’ve even started to write it. You know what it is; you feel it is crucial. You get started or begin again; not long after that, something comes up, and you find yourself not writing. You look in the mirror or up into the skies and proclaim, “I want to write a book but just can’t seem to get it done.” You wait for divine inspiration or an answer to your plight. What’s your answer? The sound of crickets or, worse yet, only silence.
I hear that a lot. When I meet someone who finds out that I’ve written some books, they tell me the same thing, “I want to write a book but just can’t seem to get it done,” followed by some plea for assistance. Lucky for them, I have a couple of pay programs that help you write your book, or alternatively, I will write it for you. Generally, any price inquiry will change the subject.
It is true: there is a book in you, and it desperately wants to find its way into publication, and the only thing standing between your vision from appearing in print, sitting on your bookshelf, and being available in bookstores everywhere, is you.
It’s not that hard, and I’ve found this really easy to do with the people I work with, just by getting a commitment to write 500 words daily. Now, that doesn’t sound like very much until you get to the fourth day and look at a blank piece of paper or a blank screen. That’s why it’s good to do this in a group.
I have groups of people doing this at any time, so you can jump right in and have an accountability partner moving through the same process one step, or 500 words, at a time. Of course, you can write more than 500 words if you’re in the flow, but you can’t stop for the day until you’ve reached at least 500 words. When you awaken the next day, you start over again at zero.
In this way, my people get their books written in 90 days. Then it takes a few days, or a week, to format your book and another few days to create your book cover, write a copy of the “About the Author,” and provide a description of the back cover and book listing.
There you are, 100 days from today, holding your book in your hands, and anyone you know, or don’t know, for that matter, can buy it from anywhere.
At that moment, your life changes. You are an author. You’ve done something that most people don’t. For every one of you who has held your book in your hands for the first time, there are 1,000 more who wish they could have done what you’re doing now.
This is the song I sing. Everyone that comes close to me hears it. Write your book. Because you never know. Not long ago, I witnessed a fatal car accident. It troubled me deeply. I did some research about those who lost their lives that day. When I discovered that neither of them had written a book, I wept.
For them and me because I felt that I had failed them. Had they met me, even if only briefly, they may have had a book written before leaving this realm in such a tragic and sudden manner. And that wasn’t the first time.
The first time I met an early mentor in my life, he said the same thing: “I want to write a book but just can’t seem to get it done.” So, I helped him. On day 94, he forwarded his formatted manuscript for review. I made some suggestions and sent him back a copy. No answer.
You guessed it. He died unexpectedly. He did have a life-threatening disease, but no one had any clue that he would slip away suddenly in the middle of the night like that. No family. It’s almost a book.
I always see those memes that say something like, “Be grateful for today because tomorrow is never promised,” and I used to roll my eyes, but not so much anymore. I get it. We never know when our number is up.
I’m not trying to threaten you or force you to write that book, the one that is begging you to write it down that you’re keeping hidden inside you. I’m just saying whatever it takes,
Write Your Book
If I’ve given you hope or inspiration, or not, at least I’ve fulfilled my obligation to my calling, my mission, and that is to say, stop making excuses and do it.
