5 Keys to Writing Your First Book We’re talking about getting YOUR book written and published! We're doing a deep dive on the subject of writing and publishing a book. Have you ever thought about writing a book? I'm betting you have. I'm hoping you have because I think every person has at least one book in them but, hey, if you're a DREAM THINK DOer, that probably means you've got five, maybe 15, maybe 25 books in you. And what I've learned about people is that they need to just learn a system for writing a book. Once they have that system down, it is entirely possible to not just write one, but many books.

Okay, now, let's dive into some stuff here. Okay, so writing books ... I once saw a quote from Tony Morrison that I absolutely love. It just grabbed me. She said, "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." Whoosh! How about that, right? Like, that is the truth from somebody who's written a ton of incredibly impactful books. I don't know about you, but I'm guessing that maybe you've just had that feeling inside, that knowing that ... Maybe it's a memoir. Maybe it's some stories from your life. Maybe it's some things that you've learned through some of the challenges that you've faced over time. Or, maybe you've just learned a set of strategies for something you're like freakishly good at and you just want the world to know those strategies. You want to share them with the world. Or maybe it's something you've learned about your faith and it's just made a huge impact on you and you just want to reach other people and help them to experience the same kinds of things. I'm not sure what it is for you, but I'm guessing there's that knowing, that knowing that you're supposed to write at least one book. Maybe you feel called to it and it's just that there's that longing. You're not quite, you can't even explain it but you just know it's there. Or maybe it's that satisfaction, oh, man, just that thought of having a book done.
