You keep saying you want to write a book...
But for some reason, you can't pull the trigger.
- Is it because you don't know what to write about?
- You don't know if it'll be any good?
- You don't have a plan?
FEAR. NO. MORE.
When I self-published my memoir, Atlas Personality, I had an enviable amount of relief and proud wash over me. I did not care how much I made, I did not care who read it or what they thought, all that mattered was I did it. I received the typical praise one might get from close family and friends when I announced my book was on sale:
"I'm so proud of you!"
"Congratulations!"
"Wow! I could never do that!"
Once that ended, the most common question came up:
"How did you do it?"
When I wrote the book, I came up with my own process. I borrowed from different writing teachers and books I've ready over my 31 years on earth, as well as my own proprietary methods, and came up with this book:
JUST WRITE YOUR DAMN BOOK ALREADY!
What does this book contain?
- A method for forming the central message of your book
- Worksheets to sketch out characters, story beats, and more
- A worksheet to help you come up with your book's logline, or, central story
- A 30-day journaling/writing challenge
- A step-by-step guide to preparing your book for release -- From a marketing plan to tips on cover designs (even a page to draw your own, perhaps with crayon or water colors, whatever you want) and more!
JUST WRITE YOUR DAMN BOOK ALREADY! has it all. Every step of the process.
Will this book tell you how to make millions? No.
Will this book help you get a real publisher? Hell no.
Will this book help you fulfill that dream of actually sitting down and finishing that memoir, collection of short stories, or hard-boiled detective novel you've always wanted to write but weren't sure how? HELL. YES.
This is about happiness. Your happiness.
I want to give you tips to doing things cheaply, effectively. Can't afford an editor? Great! Can't afford a designer? Fine! For the cost of this book, I hope I can help you do it all yourself in a way that will still make you proud at the end of the day.
(For example, the cover was designed and formatted using Canva and I used three different, affordable programs to design the inside.)
SIT BACK, RELAX, AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE DONE RELAXING, GRAB THIS BOOK AND GET TO WORK. You'll thank me, I promise.
