Once you have an idea for a book and a plan for how to get it written and marketed, it’s time to put your brain to work with some writing exercises. Here are 5 different tips to help your brain get the ‘WRITE’ idea:
• When an idea comes to you, usually unexpectedly, it is time to write ¾ right now! Record it on anything that’s handy and transfer it to full size paper as soon as possible so you won’t lose it.
• You should write as long and as often as possible when you’re “in the mood” to write. Ideas can flow over a period of minutes, hours and days so steal time if you have to in order to write when you are on a roll. It’s a justifiable action.
• Write in the places where you are most inspired and where you go to relax and rejuvenate yourself. If you write in these places you will increase writing time because these are the places you frequent in order to make sense of life. Inspirational locations bring out the best in you.
• Carry with you at all times key words and phrases from your Table of Contents along with supporting points you want included. Use this barebones outline to write in the waiting rooms of doctors’ offices or while your wife/husband is shopping or whenever the opportunity presents itself. Key words and phrases are all you need to get you started writing. They are all the inspiration you need.
• Get up a little early 2 or 3 days a week or go to bed a little later 2 or 3 days a week. Set aside this time to write. You might also consider using part of your lunch hour, if you get an hour, to write a few days a week.
• If you are a sports fan write between periods, at half time or even during those 3-5 minute commercial breaks. You might also try keeping the sports event on the TV ‘muted’ even when the game is on. If I’m rolling along with my writing I don’t really need the sound to understand what is going on and I can always un-mute the TV if something interesting is going on.
In my next article, I’ll share 5 more great ways that you can get your brain in the “write” frame of mind!
