=============================
Hello house, it's me again with another #hack -- this time for writers.
This hack is one of my most kept secrets for writing amazing books and getting them out in as little as three days. In fact, I wrote a book on HOW TO WRITE YOUR OWN BOOK IN THREE DAYS and guess what, the book itself was written in 3 days.
This hack is for you if:
❌ You hate taking too much time and effort to accomplish anything
❌ You're struggling with writing articles and books-- it's almost killing you each time you remember you have yet another book to complete
❌ You always experience writers block that causes you to give up on your books
❌ You're very busy or lazy, or both... 😆😆😆
But you still want to:
✔️ Write 2 books each month or 12 books a year... Or just 5 books a year
✔️ Conquer writers block and become a 'sexy' writer
✔️ Write anything better and faster with increased success
This hack is not only awesome, it will totally burst your brain... (Not literally 😉)
It's what I've used to write my books (and boy I have written over 18 books) and I've used it to coach some of my premium public speaking students who have also written their own books in three days or less. So this is not another Google junk lifted by the freelancer looking to meet a deadline. It's my secret, tested and proven, no bull shit, no long stories, no kidding -- all time, guaranteed to work weapon for writing success.
Hell I seem to brag a lot, right? 😎😎😎
Well, "eez eet yoor brag?" 😆😆😆
Let's begin
1️⃣ Get the fundamentals right
Writing is like taking a journey, without a clear plan or blueprint you will not only be wasting your time, you will also be wasting money and fuel.
✔️ The most effective way to write a book is to get your books map (plan) or blueprint ready right before you start writing the book itself.
Let me show you how to go about this:
✅ Describe your typical reader (audience) so you can imagine yourself talking to them while writing.
✅ Write out their top 10 challenges that your book will solve. It could be as small as 3 major problems at times. 10 is just to get you in the full spirit.
✅ Write out the MAJOR ACTIONS or STEPS you will share in your book to help your readers move from one point to the next point. These will form your book chapters.
✅ Write out some simple ideas under each of the major actions or steps you wrote out. These are often the Milestones (the step by step actions within a single title that the reader has to take to get to the destination you're taking them.)
✅ Write all of these things out and have them handy as a script you can always consult to quickly see your books chapters and sub titles per chapter so that you can start fetching supporting stories, quotes etc anytime you come across them.
2️⃣ Use a PC-- avoid pen and paper.
Writing with a pen is time killing. Only people who have not mastered how to use the PC still argue that writing with a pen is better. Writing with your Personal Computer (PC) is a very fast and efficient way to write your book. Why? Unlike with pen and paper, with PC:
✔️ You can write more than one chapters simultaneously by scrolling through your computer
✔️ You don't have to worry about mistakes and errors as the system will help you to point those out
✔️ You can easily delete, copy, paste, arrange and rearrange anytime, any how you want
✔️ You can simply copy quotes, definitions etc without having to write them out as in with pen and paper
✔️ You can easily reuse an existing article you wrote and retouch it to fit into current purpose
✔️ You don't have to start typing your manuscript again as we do when we write with pen and paper and have to pay someone else to type it. They usually mess up the whole thing and you have to come back and start correcting them all over again.
The benefits are numerous...
Use a computer to write your book.
3️⃣ Stop reading what you're writing
This is actually killing your brain and causing the block you're experiencing. The brain takes a "Creative Turn" when we are writing because we are creating ideas but when we start reading it starts taking a "Critical Turn" enabling us to understand by judging, questioning, and reasoning what we are reading.
✔️ When you read what you write you're not only stalling yourself you are also bringing unnecessary criticisms that end up killing your creative spirit and causing you to feel like dropping the book.
Here's the greatest secret to completing your book in three days:
✅ Write till finish without ever reading or trying to read what you're writing UNTIL you're done. It's difficult but when you do it, you'd be more productive.
✅ Never try to perfect or 'touch up' a book you're not done with... Write the first manuscript, drop it, get some rest, clear your head and then-- get back to the already written manuscript for brush up.
4️⃣ Don't write a book -- write blogs
Writing a book is energy draining and that sucks. If you want to complete your books faster turn your book chapter into blog article that you want to share for the next 6-12 days on your blog or friend's.
✅ Set a blogger challenge "I will share blog articles for the next 5 days"
✅ Write one chapter a day (1000-2000 words is a good start)
✅ The feedback you get can be an inspiration or simply expand your horizon as more questions pop out
Hey, did you notice blog articles are often more captivating than book chapter titles? Imagine when all your chapters sound as captivating and interesting as a blog title. You feel me right? 😀
5️⃣ STOP pleasing your ego--
Frankly, if your non-fiction (self help) book is more than 150 pages you're pleasing your ego not your readers.
Some books are unnecessarily voluminous. 😥
✅ You don't have to write a 500 pages book... Keep it simple and straight to the point.
✅ You can keep your book focused and save the time of your readers.
✔️ Brevity is bae.
✔️ People have other things to do with their time. And you're not helping yourself by packing your book with unnecessary details to sound important.
But that's just my idea though-- there's always an exception to the rule. 😎
So there they are.
There are about 5 other hacks to help you boost your writing skills and get your books out faster than you ever thought possible. But this post is getting longer than I can bear.
So tell me: WAS THIS A LITTLE HELPFUL?
Is there something else I can help you with?
