Still want to write a book this year? Recently, I was on a walk and stumbled across a day planner someone had left in the grass, lying open to a random date. Picking it up, I thumbed through the book and came across a week in June, filled with plans for parties and trips and other events that likely did not happen. That made me sad. Suffice to say that 2020 did not look like any of us anticipated. What we planned for did not happen—at least, not in the way most of us expected. Personally, this has been the most transformative year of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. But it’s been hard. Did you have plans for this year that did not happen? Plans to change your life, perhaps? To do something you always wanted but never had the time for? If you are like most people, at some point in your life, maybe even this year, you probably said to yourself, “I’d like to write a book someday.” I hear this all the time when I tell people that I’m a writer. “Oh, I have this great idea for a book,” they say, and then proceed to tell me what it is. And they’re right. It usually is a good idea. But do you know what I never hear them say? “I’d like to write a book someday, and I hope that never happens.” Or: “If I do end up writing a book, I hope it ends up selling zero copies.” That would be ridiculous. But that's just what happens. Most people who want to write a book never do, and of those few who do become authors never sell more than a handful of copies. I want to help change that. As the author of five books and over 5 years of experience writing professionally, I’ve learned that to be a successful author, you can’t just write any old book. You have to write one worth buying. Which is why I created #AskMCFriday to help walk you through my process for producing books and how you can launch your book successfully.
