How you can easily write your book this summer

Last August I wrote 33,000 words in just 5 weeks. No mean feat, but I had a strategy that helped me.  I modelled what I did to create my previous books and implemented a system to get words down on paper quickly.

That’s why this August, I’ve created the 10,000 Word Summer Book Challenge to share some of the secrets with you.

Some people have asked me why I’ve chosen 10,000 words for the challenge… Well to be frank, it doesn’t matter whether you write a few thousand words or exceed the target like I did, it’s about helping you to get into new habits and get your book done.

10,000 words is a good sized e-book and if you’re writing a ‘real’ book that you want to get printed to use to grow your business, you’ll be well on your way, especially as an average business book is in the region of 50,000 words.

Most business owners with a specialism shouldn’t find this too difficult(!). Let’s be honest, you’ve probably got tons of resources, training materials, notes, exercises, stories, ideas that you just need to sort into a good structure – which is one of the things I’ll help you to do on the challenge.

If you’re not exactly sure who you’re writing your book towards and how you’re going to wow your reader, this is the first thing that I’ll cover. Actually I’ve already set homework for everyone who has signed up so that they nail it before they get started.

And if you’re struggling with the mindset stuff that I talked about in last week’s blog, I’ll be helping with this too. Actually the Facebook group is already awash with conversations and motivation from people who have already signed up. So if you’re looking for immediate feedback, a group of like-minded people to bounce ideas off, or a friendly place to hangout, you’ll get it!

If time is your nemesis, one of the things I’ll urge you to do is to get into some sort of routine. Whether you write for an hour or day or block out time during the month for writing, this is the way you’ll create new habits. Then you’ll leave the challenge with an ongoing plan, a structure to follow and you’ll be able to see how you can finish your book too.

So do you want to easily write your book this Summer? Sign up for the challenge now! And join 40+ business owners who are on a similar journey to get their book written this August. We start on Friday 31 July at 12pm.
