Struggling with how to start writing your book? You're not alone. In this episode I share my number one tip for aspiring authors and help you start that book.
Drawing from my experience helping thousands of writers, I reveal why the secret to getting started is embracing imperfection. Learn why:
* Your first draft should be complete and total crap (and why that's a good thing!)
* Perfectionism is the biggest barrier to finishing your book
* Writing 10,000 words a week for 4 weeks can transform your writing journey
* The first 5 drafts will be bad - and that's exactly how it should be
* Starting with an outline might actually hold you back
Perfect for: Aspiring authors, creative writers, and anyone who's ever dreamed of writing a book but feels stuck at the starting line.
