How to Look for a New Writing Strategy

Writing System Ideas

Are you wondering WHERE the writing results you want are and what’s taking so long for your written work to start paying you? You might need a reminder: The day you got an idea about a topic you wanted to write about is NOT the day you see finished results of published work.

Many new writers (and seasoned writers too) are not beginning to write. Not continuing to work on what they are in the middle of writing and not getting the manuscript or stories finished. The biggest hindrance is not getting any help when stuck.

The - I don’t have to check my grammar or have help in editing what I have written syndrome. I’ll get back to writing that last chapter later, but why isn’t my royalty check in the mail today?

The - I wanted the results to be here yesterday with no effort kind of thinking.

You need a new strategy if what you have done in the past is not working for you.

So how do you stop the things that are keeping you from getting your writing done?

If ever you get caught up in “Why isn’t this happening?” You might be getting into a place of self-doubt or blaming the process. Remind yourself you are in charge of starting and completing your written material. When you do, the writing gets finished.

You will recognize this by the excuses that you have for not writing and not completing your written projects based on things you claim are out of your control. Most often, these writer’s blocks are present.

Understand that your written material will take time to write (be completed, sold from your website, in bookstores, or other places online) just as you would not expect a tree to grow in one day; you need to understand that a written project takes time to do and complete. Tend to your writing.

Do everything you can do, and then get yourself in a place of being ready for the results to come to you. That place where you begin to have your writing published and readers who enjoy your communication and written work. And even checks for your written work.

OK, if you don’t know where to start with the writing, then what do you do? Invest in a step-by-step writing system that will feel easy and authentic to you. There are plenty of options for you.

Options give you the most important things to do to find your topic, get help from a coach, determine if writer’s block is in your way.

· Continue through all steps

· Go from idea to published

· Rinse and Repeat
