As an author, I’ve heard the following many (many) times: “I SO want to write a book! But how do you even do something like that?” Upon further discussion, I often find that folks have fallen prey to many of the “musts” and “shoulds” that float around this industry, and those beliefs keep them from realizing (or even getting started on) this dream.
Therefore, here are 5 Tips for Writing a Book (that You’ve Likely Never Heard Of):
First, an update on my Technology Detox progress. It’s been 3 weeks, and this past weekend, I made it all weekend without opening my computer. I did check the Blackberry on occasion, but no computer. This is a real accomplishment, let me tell ya!
Last Friday morning, we had a scheduled photo shoot for the Hold It Baby. Might I remind you that we live in Phoenix, where it hasn’t rained for about 19 months.
So what do you think it was doing when I awoke at 6:05 a.m. to head to the shoot?
If you guessed “raining,” you would be correct.
Is it really raining? Yes, yes it is.
My first words?
“You cannot be serious.”
But kids love rain, and the increase in humidity made the hair of all women present look much like that of Monica Gellar in the Friends episode where they went to the Bahamas. So that was fun.
Also, our rock star photographer is allergic to bees. Guess what flying insect comes out in droves when it’s raining in Phoenix? Yes, bees. So while she worked her magic with a camera, I hopped around her flailing my arms, completely willing to sacrifice myself if necessary for the good of the company.
Is that dedication or what?
Avoiding the bees
