7 Essential Elements to Self-Publishing

A lot of people are self-publishing, but many get discouraged. Having a book coach would help control the fears and process of producing a book. Publishing a book demands a lot of steps. Over the years, I've developed a system to publishing. Here are 7 essential elements to self-publishing for the new indie author: Collaborate with a book coach. Develop an outline.

Get Unstuck: Dive into Tunnel Vision

You've created an outline or an overview of how you want your chapters to look. Already, you began writing but you only write every once in a while. Still, you're excited about kicking off your book design. Yet, something continues to hold you back. It's not procrastination, confusion nor lack of motivation. You say to yourself: what's the issue now? I'm stuck! I'm writing but not getting enough results.  Develop a Writing Goal To keep the momentum going you must create a rhythm. Develop a system and make it work for you. There are lots of methods to creating a routine in order to get unstuck and dive into tunnel vision. One strategy to creating a specific writing goal is to consider meeting a word-count. Every time you sit down to produce a draft target a specific word-count. One page is about 500 words and a chapter is generally 2,000 words. Therefore, make a commitment to meet a certain word-count and witness your steady progress. Another approach to tackling...
