Writing a book is easy. I’ve written more than a dozen.

It’s as easy as…1 – 2 – 3.

  1. Write.
  2. Edit.
  3. Publish.

Writing a book is easy. The trick…the catch…the killer…the reason why more people don’t write books is because it takes discipline…

  • …the discipline of observing the world around you.
  • …the discipline of being quiet long enough to write a sentence more than 140 characters.
  • …the discipline of editing so the reader never feels the urge to do anything other than read and react.
  • …the discipline of writing when no one cares what you’ve written.
  • …the discipline of writing even when everyone else is playing.

Writing a book is easy. It’s the words, sentences, and paragraphs that will get you every time.

What’s keeping you from writing your book?
