Writing a Book and Shitting Bricks

[joeaugustin]

Some may have heard about the book project that I embarked on at the end of last year. It's with Jim Aitchison, who is a brilliant writer. He manages 8 books a year and is truly one of the experts in advertising

The pill u need to take is the "I know I'm doing something good for the masses (or at least those who will read my book) so I shall persevere even if it kills me before I enjoy the fruits of my labour" one.

That usually keeps me going... even if I haven't written any books and am just speaking from the experience of a dip holder who goes through similar, if less significant troubles, when being given the task of elaborating on all project reports to make it more... colourful.

One thing I learned from my writing coaches that worked for me, is to keep writing. I can't always produce quality stuff, but if I keep producing lots of stuff, ... *some* of it will be quality, and I can toss the rest...

.. but if you find the pill... let me know.. cos I'm still dreaming of writing a book too :)

I agree. tough but when you press through the 'shit' the good stuff comes... eventually. Good luck!

So is it the red pill or the blue one?
