Stop Killing Your Book Dream With Wrong Thinking!

End Procratination and Write Your Best Book Now

Take 9 easy steps to speed write your book.
 
Write your best book now! Have you been guilty of procrastinating on your book project, lately? Like the author, many writers get hung up with wrong thinking about writing and completing their books. Knowledge and know-how can be formed into nine easy steps that will destroy the power of procrastination. Using the amazingly easy steps below writers can conquer the giant procrastination and speedily write their best book now:

1. Act now.

Action will paralyze fear each and every time.

2. Avoid marathon writing.

Know you don't have to become a hermit to write and complete a successful book.

3. Commit to the tracking approach.

Doing a set amount -even if it's only an hour- each day builds a cumulative effect.

4. Know you don't have to write chapters in order.

You can jump around and fill in the blanks to gain momentum.

5. Maintain your momentum.

Don't give in to writers block. Move on to work on the chapter you feel passion bubbling for at that moment.    

   
6. Rewrite & Re-organize.

Be a professional. Don't be lazy and save all the editing for your editor. Make your manuscript the best it can be.

7. Learn to Delegate.

Don't succumb to the idea that you have to do it all yourself if you want it done right. Discern your talents and delegate the rest. Let go faster and profit sooner.

8. Work Efficiently.

Embrace technology. If you don't know how something works, find out. Take a class. Read articles. Learn how to use your software to make things easier and faster.

9. Print Out & Back Up Daily.

Don't believe a computer crash can never happen to you. Save your work somewhere besides your computer hard drive - floppy disk, cd, DVD. Make a hard copy of your manuscript. Print out changes as you work. Even so, nothing can happen until that first draft is completed. Procrastination is ultimately based on fear of failure. It has stopped countless book projects and stolen the vision of many more.

Don't allow procrastination to become a giant towering over your book dreams. Go now; sign-up for a free course, pin-point your topic, write your table of contents or simply write your first draft. Whatever you do, do it now and release your important message to the world. Best wishes for your greatest success yet.

# 9 especially applies to me. I have lost over 30 pages from a beginning story,
and at least ten assorted chapters from various stories over the past few
months. It's so hard to get back on my feet and rewrite that, well, I don't. I'm
dertimned to not let that happen.
Thanks for this.

The problem I have the most is that whenever I come up with a scene in my book,
I stop and think, "Shoot I cant do that, its sounds awefully familiar to
*insert book or author*

And Im afraid of doing anything for being accused of
copying or stealing.
