Keep Your Eye on the Prize

You’ve started writing your book and the motivation drops as well as your progress. How do you stir your passion? How can you rekindle your flame? When I hit a roadblock, I’ll do one of these three activities or all of them. 

  1. Reflect on my reasons.

  2. Revert to my writing ritual.

  3. Review the list of questions my reader may have.


Proven-Strategies for Creating

    In the beginning stages, I’ll jot down my reasons for publishing. Five or more reasons I deserve to publish. I keep this note in the miscellaneous section of my binder. I discussed these tasks in my book, In Her Own Ink: Strategies for Creating from Author to Author.


    The writing ritual is where motivation meets discipline. What motivates you into action? Which song, quote, or image gets you moving? Generally, I watch a couple of performances on YouTube that spikes my professional keenness, and produces passion. I do this repeatedly, prior to diving into the mental work of my book development. Creating this habit enables me to activate my laser focus and get to work.


    In addition to reviewing my outline, I’ll reflect on the list of questions my reader may have. During the early stages of writing, I’ll create this list. It’s my guide to staying focused on meeting book goals and objectives. I emphasize these strategies in my book.


    Finally, partnering with a book coach will enhance your writing journey. There are several advantages to working with a coach. 


    However, the paramount benefits include accountability and discipline for your craft. Developing your project until it’s complete with proven-strategies to staying committed. Also, avoiding the common mistakes new authors make that will create issues such as attempting to write a book in chronological order. Writing whenever the motivation comes. And, drafting content without an outline. 


Conclusion

    Again, to gather inspiration and attention to producing content, I’ll look at my list of reasons for publishing. Lean on my motivating routine, and/or review the list of questions from my reader’s perspective. Incorporating these habits into your book writing process will undoubtedly help propel you into action.


    Lastly, I highly encourage you to work with In Her Own Ink. Unlock your potential today and call: (404)369-0499.
