Trust me, after having written twenty-plus novels and novellas and two nonfiction books, I can confirm that the feeling doesn’t get old.
And I’m here to help you go from overwhelmed and confusedto confident and clear with your writing.
Why?
Because everyone’s story is important and has the potential to change the world.
Yes, your words are magic. Let’s figure out how to access them, shall we?
“Why can’t I get started?” Or, “Why am I stuck?”
According to a quick internet search, fewer than ten percent of people who have started books will finish them. I’m guessing that a lower percentage of people who have said they want to write a book have even started.
That’s not surprising. Let’s be honest – writing a book is tough. But if you’ve had a book idea knocking at the back of your brain and heart for days, months, or even years, you’re meant to share your story and knowledge with the world.
Or, people want to write a book, but:
Don’t know how to start.
Don’t feel that they have a clear enough idea.
They have many ideas but don’t know how to choose or integrate them.
Many times, people will start a book, but then:
Life gets in the way.
They run out of steam, and the idea just doesn’t seem as good anymore.
They get stuck.
Or, there’s a third option: people who have written a chapter or article, or more than one, and want to write a whole book. They get stuck and overwhelmed, too.
If it’s so hard to write a book, why should I bother?
Think about your favorite author or one whose book has made a big difference in your life.
Now answer these questions:
What piece of knowledge or insight would you be missing if you hadn’t read their book?
If money were no object, would you hire this person to help you solve the problem they talk about in their book? If so, would you feel more prepared to make the most of working with them now that you’ve read their book(s)?
Would you pay to attend a talk by them?
Do you plan to buy the next book they write?
Writing a book helps you to:
Help more than one person or group at a time
Establish yourself as a credible expert
Get speaking gigs and interviews to podcasts
Sign clients more quickly because if they’ve read your book, they already know, like, and trust you
Work more effectively with your clients because if they’ve read your book, you don’t have to waste your time explaining the basics
Establish new partnerships and income streams
To learn more, please schedule a 30-minute complimentary idea clarification and book planning session. By the end of it, you’ll be more clear about the book you could write and if we would work well together. This is a no-pressure call – my hope is to help you figure out whether writing a book is right for you and the next steps. Or, if you’ve started and are stuck, how you can keep moving forward.
“I found Dr. Anne Bartolucci’s course on procrastination very helpful! It was really eye opening to identify why I distract/procrastinate and the fears that lead me to do so. The course is broken down into small sections that helps it feel more manageable as well as easy to rewatch at any point. I really appreciate the self-reflection exercises! I highly recommend, particularly for those working on any sort of creative project or who wish to start a creative project.” Claire Labriola
“I have participated in the writer’s group with Anne. It has been helpful in motivating me and providing accountability with reaching my goal of writing a book. I have received helpful input and suggestions from the group that have aided me in the writing process.” Diane Lyon
