In this, we are asking what kind of book could I write.

This book has been converted from a blog. Each chapter is a short piece of wisdom. The author sends out a daily email and has a daily brain tattoo, so he has maximised his content well.

You could take some of your content and do the same or you could you plan it now and blog your book for later publication.

I have done something similar.  I have something called 101 days of being me. It's a journaling adventure. You can sign up and get a daily email. 

At the end of the 101 days I'll have a new journaling book. 

This is a part of my sales funnel and my way to inspire people to start writing, explore themselves and possibly write a book.

I can also use this as source content for a blog to promote the book later.

Is this something you could do?

Every two weeks, Esther and I talk about a subject that will be close to someone's heart.

In this episode, we talk about letting go.

One of the hardest things we have to learn to do in life is to let go and accept things as they are, rather than how we wish they would. Great stress and unhappiness comes from the times we push and try to force things to be the way we want them to be instead of accepting the way they are.

There is great relief and peace to be found in this letting go, although it can be very hard to do.

 On Friday I took a good hard look at the books I am hoarding and asking why do I keep each of the books. I am not doing a Marie Kondo, I hasten to add. I was reviewing why did I buy this book and would I like to write a book like this?  

I know, it all seems a bit deep, and possibly a lot of hard work, but I wanted to help the people in the Inner Circle think more deeply about why they might write a particular kind of book.  

This is really an important and often overlooked aspect of creating a book.  

But think about this why would you write a book in a style that you hate reading?  

What do you like to read outside of novels? Here's what I like, perhaps you do too:-  

* Factual books with no fluff that takes you through a process and make it simple for you 

* Books with some of the writer's journey, some evidence (research of some kind or something the writer has discovered that lends weight to the story), key message and learning points and something for me to do - generally journaling and not too many things to journal about. I also like the journaling to be a journey * Short memoir with thinking/learning points * Dip in and out books that give me something to think about that day 

* Fact-based books - think nutrition 

* Oracle cards and associated books with something to think about  

Most of the books that I own fall into these 6 categories. I've written a number of 1's and now writing in the style of 2. 2's are my favourite.  

What about you?  

Go and review your bookcase you'll be pleased that you did. You can now give away the books that are taking up space and you can review the structure of the books that you love.  

You'll now have a better idea of what kind of book you might like to write.  

When you want more of this support, you can find me in the Big Book Inner Circle. This is where I am creating a writing community for journaling, creative life writing and writing a book - basically writing...  http://jo.my/bigbook 

As you can imagine I get asked a lot about how long it will take to write a book. The answer is always it depends. That may sound like a cop-out. However, it depends on you, your commitment and the action you take.

You can write a book to final draft in 90 days. Some people have been known to publish in this time as well. Personally, I am not sure how they have done it, but you never know other peoples commitment, work ethic, what support they have and what they have let go of to enable this to happen – do you?

I know this. Once you have worked out how you are going to write a book in let’s say 90 days and started to write, it may feel like you are in a parallel universe, where time seems to be consumed by your writing. The cleaning gets left, you forget that the world exists outside, but be assured that when the journey is over, normal life can, and will, resume. 

Listen to the recording and work out how long you will take.

The idea of the first hundred days of leadership started with Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. It is said that as he put many things into action, he never displayed ‘fright, panic and rarely even a bad temper.

He focused on the job in hand and what he could achieve. This is true for life as well, what we focus on we achieve, as long as you take action.

We also have to move the story, change how we feel about things and write a new story. 

That’s what 101 days is. If you read my story, you will know why I am doing this journaling experience with you.

What will you get in 101 days?

You will get 101 days of insight. I've hand-picked quotes which speak from my heart to the heart. These are designed to inspire deep reflection.

Questions and food for thought to kick-start your musing and journaling.
