Book Launch Success & Celebration
Last Tuesday, my long-time client Julie Zolfo launched her book. And made it into the bestseller list in ELEVEN categories.
This is a big deal. And she’s STILL riding the wave of awesome – speaking gigs, book promo, and sharing the excitement.
It’s so EASY to look at the end and think, “Of course it happened for HER. She’s got [insert some bogus story here].”
So let me give you the BEHIND the scenes of the writing process.
Because we instantly jump to the LAUNCH. The excitement of the bestseller status. The beauty of the cover (and it is beautiful.) And it’s too easy to feel like this is an overnight sensation.
The truth of the matter is both far less glamorous AND really inspiring.
Because books aren’t written in a weekend. Or a month. Or, often, even a few months.
Books are written in days.
One day at a time. Over and over and over.
And there’s no shortcut. It’s putting words on the page, editing them, loving them, hating them, and doing it again.
The best news about that is that YOU can do it. Yes, you. The one sitting right there, reading these words.
And you also don’t have to do this alone. Julie came to me with a mountain of STUFF – notes and ideas and acronyms for processes and systems. I probably COULD have pulled a “book” out of that pile. Looking back, I’m thinking that may have even been our plan.
But instead, we did what I do with ALL my clients.
Start at the beginning:
What’s your message.
Learn the process:
How to tell a story. How to make it compelling. How to move the reader’s emotions.
And then…
Do that. Over and over and over.
Now, here’s a truth for you:
Doing it over and over and over is often hard. Frustrating. Lots of “effort” for little “results.” And more often than not, brings up all your Mental Monsters saying, “Are you even DOING this right? Nobody is going to read THIS? Who are YOU to write this book?”
Deep breath, my fellow author.
Because you do NOT have to do this alone. And you don’t have to figure out the process alone. You don’t have to struggle.
And while you can’t write a book in a weekend, I can give you the tools you’ll need – in just three days.
