You’ve decided to write a book. Congratulations.

Now what?

Well, here’s the part that requires a real commitment. Writing your first book can be a little intimidating if you’re only looking at the big picture. Right now all you see is this HUGE writing project that you’ve decided to take on, and, I bet it’s already beginning to feel a bit impossible.

How will you find the time to sit, and think, and ponder over exactly what words you want to put down on that blank piece of paper?

How do you know if you should be writing your own book anyway, given that there are so many talented writers out there in the marketplace?

I’ll give you the short answer--passion.

I assume you’ve already got an idea for writing a book. In my opinion, the only thing that separates those who follow through, write, and publish their book idea, and those who don’t is--passion.

A healthy passion for writing YOUR book, is what will get you through those times when you’re tempted to push your book project aside because of .. . any number of reasons.

It’s real easy to put off writing your first book until everything in your life is perfect, but when will that happen? Like never. Okay, so you’ve gotta find a way to work your book project INTO your busy life.

A great way to get started is to grab a day planner and “schedule in” time to write your book. You are essentially making an appointment with yourself to do nothing during this time but focus on your book.

Now you’ve got two things going for you as a new author: passion, and a committed block of writing time.

See? That wasn’t so hard, was it?

Okay, now start working on your opening paragraph.
