5 Tips to Get Started Writing:

1)    Utilize spare time. Waiting in the airport or delayed flights, jot down ideas. On the airplane use iPhone or iPad & blue tooth keyboard to type out your thoughts on the notepad app. It’s easier than using your laptop because it takes up less space.

2)    Carry an idea pad. When creativity hits hone in on it & jot them down as soon as they come into mind. You never know when a new idea will pop in. Write it down ASAP, don’t forget them!

3)    Start a blog. With your new ideas start a blog & write in the blog 2-3 days a week. After a few months you’ll have enough info to flesh out a rough draft. It’s also a good way to get SEO and start promoting the book with short teasers and by pre-selling with PayPal buttons.

4)    Write the first hour of every day. Sit down every morning and write for at least one hour. If you get it done first thing in the morning you won’t let daily activities get in the way or procrastinate. And if you write 715 words a day for 28 days you have 20,020 words which is a 100 page 5×8 book. How you can write a book in 4 weeks!

5)    Read more. Read more to get your ideas flowing. Anytime I have a creative block I buy a book about overcoming blocks and read it. Or read something similar to the topic you’re writing about.

How to Check Your Blog Stats

When you’re running a blog it is extremely important to check your stats weekly – even daily on popular blogs! Chapter 4 in “Blog Your Book into Existence” discusses how and why you should check your stats weekly. Today we are going to share a brief overview of the chapter and a quick how-to on checking your blog stats! Are you ready?

Let’s show you where you can find your stats:

  1. Log into you WordPress account
  2. Click “Stats” across the top of the screen
  3. Across the top you will have a blue bar graph showing the number of visits. They parse this out by how many people visited and how many posts they read.

Creating a global presence is so easy with a blog. My dating site receives hits from countries I never knew existed! You can learn a lot from your blog’s stats. If you are just starting out, it will take a while to see results, but don’t get frustrated. It does take time, but persistence is key here.

Awesome tip of the power of blogging: I posted an interview I did with actor Ethan Embry on my blog back in Nov 2013. Wikipedia has now linked to my blog as a point of reference for his entry. I’m right in-between People Magazine & TMZ! That’s the power of blogging and using the correct key terms for search engines. Check that out here!

Goodluck blogging!

Questions To Ask An Editor Before Hiring

Okay, so you’re in the final stages of getting your book ready to be published… but first, you have to edit the hundreds of pages that you’ve already self-edited and read a million times. It’s time for a new set of eyes! Before you hire just anyone, I have some tips you should consider while finding the perfect candidate to handle your baby. Because, after all, your manuscript is like your newborn—still fresh and in need of some molding in order for it to succeed in the world. Here are 7 tips, from my book, “Write a Book in 4 Weeks,” that can guide you through this hire.

editor

1.Vision – After discussing your book, what is their vision of it? Where do they think it should go? Do you both agree on the outcome?

2. Experience – What kind of books have they edited?

3. Education – What is their college degree in? They should be at least studying English, Journalism, or Creative Writing.

3. Software – You need to make sure you bother have the same systems. Otherwise passing documents back and forth will be a nightmare.

5. Non-Disclosure Agreement – Ask them if they are willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement stating they will not distribute or use any ideas, concepts, and so forth from your writings. If they will not sign one, find a new editor.

6. Time Frame – Ensure their schedule alines with when you want the book finished.

7. Age and Gender – This can be a factor. For my Dating Series, a sixty-five year old lady is going to have different opinions on dating versus a twenty-one year old woman. Having an editor that’s your target reader audience is good. Not necessary, but a plus.

For the rest of the tips and more in-depth explanations of these questions – get your copy of “Write a  Book in 4 Weeks” here!

Self-Editing Tip

In my book, “Write a Book in 4 Weeks,” I have put together tips on how to write in your own words, how to get organized, the sections of your book, editing, how to track changes and even how to become an expert by publishing.

Today I’m going to share an excerpt from, “Write a Book in 4 Weeks,” on how to self-edit and what to expect during the process.

edit1

“Incorporate self-editing. Go through the edits, and either accept or reject them. Be prepared to read your book ten times before it’s published. By the time I print my books I’m so sick of reading them I never want to look at them again. But that’s the process.

“Read you book backwards. Mistakes will pop out at you because your brain is tricked into seeing the words differently. When you read from beginning to end, you know the story. Your brain skims over the paragraphs. “Yeah, yeah. I’ve heard this a million times before!” But if you start at the end, your brain will work harder to understand it.
