Share Me That Information

What would the world be without the invention of ink? Can you imagine if we didn’t have it with which to write things on paper? Think of the history that would be lost. Think of the books that never would have been written. Think of the most important book of them all, the Bible, if it had never been written. All of these things were made possible through the use of one thing: ink.

The Spoken Word Isn’t Enough To Record History

Before ink, people used to communicate in other ways. There was, of course, the spoken word. However, the spoken word can become diluted if it’s passed down through too many generations. Anyone who has ever played the telephone game knows how this works. The telephone game works by having a group of people sit in a circle. One person whispers something in the ear of the person next to them and that person then tells the next person and so on. Eventually, you get to the end where the last person whispers what they heard into the ear of the original person. Anyone who’s ever played this game knows that the information that started the game is rarely the information that’s relayed at the end. This is because information becomes diluted as people’s imaginations run rampant with the information, transforming it into something completely different.

Ink made it possible to write this information down. That way, the information gets preserved for years, even centuries. Without ink, we wouldn’t have some of the stories we have today. We wouldn’t have the textbooks to learn from. Our society might not have advanced as much as it has without it. Who knows? We might be stuck in the stone age if it weren’t for ink.

Ink is so commonplace that we don’t even think about it most of the time. That is, until our printer runs out or our pen gets to light that it just digs grooves into the page. We need it, however. We need it to pass history onto future generations. We need it to teach others the teachings of yesterday and we need it to further our society so that we can make greater bounds than ever before.

Ink is very important to our daily lives. If you’ve never thought about how important it is, I bet you have now. All you have to do is look around you and imagine if there was no ink. All of the printed pages, all of the books, all of the artwork on walls, the PhD’s, the awards, even the constitution of the United States, none of it would have been possible without ink. So the next time someone asks you what you couldn’t live without, tell them ink. They’ll probably look at you crazy, but then you’ll have to prove to them just how bland your life would be without it.

Many people are looking for a way to publish their own book, but they simple don’t know how to go about something like this! I have been looking to publish a book for the last few months myself so I have looked into this quite a lot. There are a lot of websites, services and people that will do book publishing for you but a lot of the time it’s a lot more expensive than you would like!

The publishing part is one of the most important attributes to the book. Yes, the content is important. As is the plot, the reasoning for the book and the background research for the book. But without getting it published. You never stand a chance to have it become “known”. First things first. No one is going to accept unsolicited material.

One of the reasons behind this is because of the copyrights and the laws behind these rules. Nowadays, everyone is always complaining about someone stealing their work and frankly it’s just not worth it to publishers to go through all the hassles. So when you want to get your book published and also “claim” rights to what is yours - how do you go about this? What are the prices? Is it easy or hard? Well the site I found online actually makes it very easy for you.

There are hundreds of courses available, but this is the only one that teaches you how to take that bit of extra time to write a REAL book, and the extra bit of head-work to get it published internationally by top publishing houses. As for the price? It’s really cheap. In fact, it’s just under $40 which is really a good price if you have checked out other sites and or people to do it for you. It’s true - you can always save more money when you do things yourself!

But it’s also important to know exactly HOW to do something and these courses will help you do exactly that. Learn how to decide on your subject matter, choose a best-selling title, set the word-count, structure the work, complete the MS, do the necessary rewrites, choose whether or not to use an agent, source your contacts, submit your MS, negotiate a contract, market your book, and do a book tour, enjoy the entire process, make it easy.

Before you pay a book coach or go on an expensive course please read this e-course. It contains all the information you need! The really great thing about these e-courses is that you can them right away. Just simply pay for the book publishing course and download. It’s quick, easy, affordable and convenient! Check it out!

No, I’m not calling you a pig. Now that I have your attention, I want to talk with you about finishing your book fast and getting it to market faster. Did you start on your book and lose focus? You would love the rewards of a completed book but wonder where you could fit writing into your schedule.

Don’t be discouraged; let me share some tips that will jump start your writing again. Trust me, if it feels like you’ve been stuck in the mud, these tips will pull you out. I call them the habits of highly effective authors. Successful writers set up a system of writing using steps that become habits. Practice the habits below and write your best book now:

1. Do a reality check.
Do you have a plan in place? Don’t set yourself up for failure by not planning. Even if it’s a simple intention goal like I complete my book (title of book) this year by (date and year.) I educate myself and do what it takes to complete it. Set one and write it down so you can hit the target.

2. Setup a writing schedule.
Keep it simple. How much time can you devote to your book? Schedule at least 10 hours per week. Snatch an hour here and an hour there, if you must. When my schedule is tight, I write one hour in the wee hours of the morning and one hour late at night. I have to prioritize and so must you if you want to get it done. I must admit since I am an early bird, my early morning writing takes less revision than the late night.

3. Act now.
Too many of us for too long have hid behind the words, “It’s too hard.” Now is the time to take charge of our fears and conquer them. First things first, to overcome procrastination-the fear of failure-is to act now. Most times the bottom line of procrastination is fear of failure.
Setup your writing schedule and begin today. Or choose to sign-up for an easy 7 lesson course, “Jumpstart Writing Your Best Book Now. “Remember, action will destroy fear. Each successful step of your system will deal a death blow to fear.

4. Avoid marathon writing.
Have you ever thought, “I have to get away from everything to write a successful book?”
No you don’t. I know several novelist and non-fiction book writers who had to write during a long commute to get their best book written and out to the world. They accomplished it because they systematically worked on their book until it was done. In the midst of your busy life, designate your time to write (work on your book) with a goal to completion. (Reasonable time to completion)

5. Use the tracking approach.
I can’t keep up with where I am after interruptions of life. It is a common challenge to find your place after being interrupted with family, work and daily life. After all that’s why many think you must get away to get it done effectively. Yet, there’s hope for those who can’t get away or choose not to. Successful writers all over the world use the tracking approach. They succeed because they commit to doing a little each day.

There are 2 methods you could use for your tracking. Time is the method where you commit to a writing a certain amount of time each day. With the cumulative factor involved your commitment doesn’t have to be that much. For example, to accomplish my book writing goals I commit to writing one hour a day in my most productive time. For me it is right after my meditation and reading time. With this method don’t be overly concerned about how much you write, just keep the time commitment.

The other method is focused on output. Commit to writing a certain number of words or pages a day, perhaps 750-1,000 words or approximately three and a half pages double-spaced text. The key factor is to stick to it until completion.

Even so, nothing can happen until that first draft is completed. Procrastination is ultimately based on fear of failure. It has stopped countless of book projects and stolen the vision of many more. Don’t allow procrastination to become a giant towering over your book dreams.

Then there are others who are not afraid but simply get bogged down with lack of focus and a plan. Develop the habits outlined above and you’ll be surprised at what you accomplish. Write your best book now and bring it to market faster!

Have you given up on getting your book out of your heart into the hands of your readers? Don’t give up. There’s an easy way to do anything and a more difficult way. The easy way usually includes getting helpful advice from someone that’s been there and done that. The author has written five of those ten books that were stuck in her heart a few years ago. Here’s eight steps that will speed you on your way to getting your book out now:

1. Setup a regular writing schedule. Think about your priorities right now. Can you fit 7-10 hours a week in? If you have to let something go that is not high on your priority list, do it. Now is your time. Later is not better. Set yourself up for a successfully written book this year by committing to a regular schedule. After it’s done, remember to reward yourself.

2. Plan a short book first. Many aspiring writers overwhelm themselves with goals of a 365 page book first. Shorten your book to 25-90 pages the first time or divide your large book into a smaller book one and two. Though you shorten it, still fill it with useful information by using the question and answer format for each chapter. Using the same format and length for each chapter and answering all your reader’s questions will not only speed your writing process but it will result in a successful book.

3. Let your passion lead you to a topic. Passion will not only stir your readers when your book is done but it will keep you motivated to do the work involved. Yes, I did say work. Passion will make your work easy. Passion will lead you to develop all the profit centers (seminars, articles, or consulting services) your message deserves.

4. Choose what’s interesting to you. If you are interested in what you are writing about you will happily write all you know and research to know more about your subject. You will easily spice your writing with interesting tid-bits that will delight your readers and keep them reading until the end of your book.

5. Get to know your reader before you write. Target your audience and your copy will be focused, interesting and compelling. As a method of writing personable copy, write and post (somewhere in your work area) your reader profile including their sex, their top interest, what they spend money on, what books they want and read. Your subject must benefit your audience to capture their interest. After all who wants to pay for a book that doesn’t help them in any way?

6. Develop a plan for each chapter before you write. Using a format plan including headlines throughout will organize your chapters. Organized chapters become easy to write and fill in the blanks. Additionally, organized chapters are easy to read and your readers will love it and tell all their friends about it. Don’t forget to weave the questions and answers that benefit your audience into your text.

7. Design your book to market well while you write. Incorporate the top market spots designed to sell more your book is completed. The hot spots are the title, cover, thesis, audience, benefits & features, mini sales letter written as introduction and back cover copy of each book.

8. Select your non-fiction topic first. You may be like the author wanting to write novels. But start with the profitable book first, so you can finance your dream efforts. Write a short book first and satisfy the busy people that want useful information fast and easy. Remember answering 5 questions about one chapter topic will create a 5 page chapter. Get your book out of your heart to paper fast. If you wait you could be this time next year with the same desire to get your book out. Use the eight easy steps of committing to a regular writing schedule, planning a short book first, choosing a passion-led topic, picking an interesting to-you subject, getting to know your reader first, developing a plan for each chapter, designing your book’s top market spots, and choosing your non-fiction topic first to become a successful author sooner. The world is waiting for your important message to answer their questions and help them become successful.

Do you know what a query letter is? If so, you are of a rare breed-a writer. Most people don’t. I discovered this when I created “Instant Query Letters” software. “What’s a queer letter?” they ask. The sad thing-they aren’t joking.

Query letters are a major part of your life if you are a freelance writer. Almost every request for magazine articles includes the statement to “query first.”

We know that this means to send a detailed summary of the article to the publisher. You should never send the completed manuscript until it’s requested.

I decided to ask a few editor friends about their preferences when it came to querying. They told me that a great query letter must do five main things:

-Grab attention immediately.

-Summarize your article or book idea in the most compelling fashion.

-Emphasize why YOU are the best one to write about the topic.

-Show your professionalism.

-Display your writing credits.

First, I highly recommend beginning your opening with the first line or two of your article or book. It immediately draws the editor or agent’s attention to your idea. Since you’ve probably sweated over the perfect beginning anyway, why not let it do double duty?

Second, make your points quickly, yet concisely. Don’t drag out your story idea. Build excitement in your recipient to WANT to read more about this fascinating story.

Third, tell why you are so knowledgeable about the topic. Why did you choose the topic? Are you querying about an article about dogs? If you are a professional trainer, then say so. Are you suggesting a “How To…” book? Tell your qualifications.

Fourth, you should always present yourself as an intelligent professional. Be sure that your writing tone is confident without sounding arrogant. Always double- check your grammar and spelling. Many editors have stated that they will not deal with writers that do not show enough pride in their work to use a spell-checker!

Finally, toot your own horn! This is where you get to brag about your writing accomplishments. Most editors will appreciate the fact that you’ve written something that has been considered good enough to be published.

If you are a new, unpublished writer, there’s still hope for you. Many editors are looking for new talent. Don’t mention that you have not been published. Simply make it clear that you have enjoyed a particular article recently published, then name the article and state how your article idea would mesh with the magazine as well. Actually, that’s a good idea for all queries to include!

Now that you’ve gotten a handle on the five important query letter components, what are you waiting for? Find a magazine that publishes your kind of writing, query it right, and spend the time waiting for your response by creating new queries. That way, no matter what the reply, you can always have fresh ideas to send out.
