The Best Thing You Can Do for Your Book Today.

Write.

So simple and yet . . . so many people who want to be authors don’t make writing a part of their daily life.

Within Author Platform Builders — my group of aspiring authors who need to grow their audience before developing their book — it’s become a bit of a joke.

I’ll say — “So you want to write a 50,000 word book . . .”

And everyone knows what’s next.

“But you don’t want to write a 500 word email?”

This exchange happens almost every time someone new signs up for the program.

I don’t know why, but y’all tend to underestimate the power of writing as a practice.

I have written nearly daily for decades — first because it was a way to get my thoughts and feelings out, and then professionally for my job as an editor, and now for entrepreneurs and experts like you.

Writing is awesome — for your own personal growth and reflection, for your business (as a marketing and audience-growth tool as well as a way to communicate better with your clients and team), and most certainly for your future book.

Developing a daily writing practice (or close to it) is kind of like learning to run long distances. (I also do that!)
