There is an age-old adage that is as true today as when it was first mooted."Everyone has at least one good book in them"
The problem is that most people never get around to writing it because they hamper progress by cluttering their thoughts with mental blocks.
Little do they appreciate that there already is a bestseller lying dormant in
mind - nor do they know how to access it.
Could you extract
book lurking in your mind?
Could you produce a niche carving bestseller in your spare time and then proceed to do it over again, time after time?
With professional guidance you could.
I never suspected I would but I have managed to produce several over
years on a part time basis, and so too could you if you set about matters with conviction.
SO YOU'VE NEVER EVER WRITTEN ANYTHING CREATIVE?
You have, you know, and you've been doing it all of your life.
When you were sitting exams at school, you were engaging in
creative writing process, addressing questions and providing answers with well reasoned argument.
When you sit down to compose a letter, produce a thesis or develop a business proposal, you are in
creative mode.
All of these exercises have something common: they are works of non-fiction, and so it follows that
creation of a full-length book in that genre is any and all of these activities writ large.
You are adept at creative writing but so far you have only skimmed
surface of your latent ability.
SO YOU'VE TRIED AND TRIED AGAIN WITHOUT SUCCESS?
Perhaps on
other hand you have been activating your innate skills for years and all you have to show for it is a never-ending stream of rejection slips.
Perhaps too you have been focusing your energies on fiction,
most notoriously difficult of genres to break into as a writer aspiring to achieve
recognition that leads to publication.
Could it be you have now decided that
only way you'll ever see your work in print is to become a self-publisher?
You wouldn't be
first. These famous masters of fiction were all obliged to take
route of shelling out hard cash to have their debut novels printed.
