Woohooo! All done.
Let's Start On Day One Right Now...
I'm super excited that you're taking this step to get your book going. Whether you're just getting started or you've got a book currently being written, even if it's stalled (been there, done that), this is a great way to get really connected with your book.
So let's just get started!
In all honesty, I know that not everyone will make it all the way through to Day 5 (which is also, btw, why so few actually publish their projects... just saying). Writing a book is work. Straight up, anyone who promises you MAGIC, they are lying. You have to sit your butt down and do the work.
Thing is, it doesn't have to be HARD work. These steps are designed to give you a starting point for where you're going.
Enjoy! Have fun!
XOXOXO - Stacy

Today isn't about writing at all. In fact it's about GATHERING.
Start making lists and printing things out and transcribing everything you've got. Listen to the video above for ideas and places to start searching for material, stories, and your own life lessons. Tomorrow we will be making sense of them all so don't jump ahead. Even if you're in the process of writing, gather anyhow. When I was writing Your Inner Council, I didn't think of this until my third draft and then suddenly 2/3 of my book was written and rewritten magically before my eyes. I did this step for my upcoming book, Active Surrender, and 124 pages were written before I even started writing - oh and I found another 96 pages of the book after that which doesn't even have a title yet. So go and gather all of your scattered wisdom and if you feel like you truly don't have anything, don't worry, start making lists of your lessons and challenges and moments in your life that were significant for you. That's gathering too. |
