  • #202: 5 Steps To Turn Your Book Into A Blog

    Top Tips From The Write Coach

    ✍️ Should I create a book out of my blog post? Yes…. No…. Read Post & Listen to the podcast

    ✍️ Are you Blogging?

    ✍️ Learn the 5 Steps To Turn Your Blog Into A Book. 


    Should I create a book from my blog posts? 


    Yes, you can! 


    But I don’t recommend it. There is a myth thrown around you can throw some blog post together, and call them a book. However, I don’t agree with this idea. You write a blog in a short direct format for a particular audience about a specific subject. I have learned some great things from blogs, but I would not want to read a series of disjointed thoughts in a book. Blogging is a great way to learn the craft of writing, develop your voice, and find your audience.


    Are you blogging? Download Blog Post Blueprint to help you with setting up your blog post.  


    No, but yes! Yes! You Can Turn Your Blog Into A Book! Learn The 5 Steps On How To Turn Your Blog Into A Book.

  • #201: What is stopping you from writing your book?
    Top Tips From The Write Coach ✍️ What is slowing you down, standing in the way, or stopping you from writing your book?  ✍️ What are the four main blocks many people face?  ✍️ How can you work through or around the blocks you face?    During every Best Book Ever Session, a complimentary introduction session with my prospective clients, I ask them “What is slowing you down, standing in the way, or stopping you from writing your book?" There are four common answers I receive. The writers in my Write My Book Facebook group answered a poll and they shared similar struggles.    I have experienced all of these struggles at one point or another in my writing career. I experience the first one still! It is a constant battle for time.    There are more struggles than the main four listed, but most struggles will fall into one of these categories. Today we are going to discuss the four main blocks to writing, and what you can do to overcome them or work through them.   All links mentioned are in the Episode #201 Post.

  • #104: How Do You Start A Book?

    Top Tips From The Write Coach:

    ✍️ Where do you start organizing your ideas to write a book?

    ✍️ What kind of research do I need?

    ✍️ What do your readers need to think, feel, or do?

    ✍️ Do you create a solid outline before you write? 

    ✍️ Create your system to write your book!


    I talk with prospective clients each week. Most of my clients share the same struggle. They want to know how to start their book. I felt the same way when I decided to write my first book too. It can be overwhelming. You have great ideas bouncing around your brain, and you know they would make a great book. Then you go to write them down, and it turns into crazy mush.


    How can you focus to make progress on your book?  Give yourself some grace. You are most likely learning a new skill.   


    Today’s podcast is about the five essential steps to take to start the process of writing your book. This podcast gives you a path to follow. Feel free to create your own system from mine. Do what works for you! The steps are not always taken in order. They are meant as a guideline to help you begin the journey into writing.  Your path may not look like mine. I don’t want it to! I want you to find a system and a path to work for you.
