No Time to Write? 3 Tips for Busy Aspiring Authors
Don’t think you have time to write a book? Think again! In this article, I share 3 ways you can write your book faster … and easier!
No one wants to think of the inevitable, but everyone – deep down – wants to leave a legacy.
To you, legacy is more than assigning financial assets and divvying up household possessions. It also involves documenting your meaningful life experiences in a manner that preserves your unique personality, wisdom, and beliefs. You want something that will last the test of time, benefit others and provide you with a valuable opportunity for self-expression.
You desire more than a cookie-cutter, fill-in-the-blank book or a notebook comprised of lists or a journal full of random thoughts. No, you want a custom story that portrays your past while imparting your acquired knowledge.
But perhaps you have some doubts. Watch the video and download the free PDF, which dispel some of the most common concerns about life story writing.
Regardless of how “ordinary” you believe your life has been, your life story deserves to be told. But your life story won’t write itself and you don’t have forever to write it. The key is to take action now before it’s too late.
