When you’ve got no time to write a book


clock2.jpg

I was speaking to a friend yesterday, who’s heavily into Web publishing. She loves it, but the last time we spoke, she said she was working on a novel.

I asked her how it was going.

“It’s not,” she said. “I’ve got no time to write a book.”

If you honestly believe that you don’t have time to write a book, you’re 100 per cent correct.

No one writes a book. Everyone writes:

* a title

* a character sketch

* a sentence

* a paragraph

* a word

Break your “write a book” project into tiny chunks. Then write whatever you can, when you can.

Your biggest block is inertia. Once you gain momentum on the book, you’ll roll right along. Make allowances for the inertia which occurs at the start of any project.

Here’s one way to break inertia: write 50 words each time you sit down at the computer. 50 words doesn’t seem like much, and it isn’t, but write your 50 words consistently for a few days and you’ll build momentum.

    I’m going to try this for a project that is dear to my heart but not under contract. It really doesn’t take much to build momentum and keep the project in the front of your mind. We have to get over the idea that we can’t write until we have a huge block of time.
