Write Your Damn Book Already!
100
Through the years, there have been a handful of books I've come across that completely changed the trajectory of my life. Books that have made me re-think the way I view reality, the way I interact with other people, and the way I envision what I am capable of achieving in this world.
At some point along the journey, I realized that I, too, had a story to tell. Or, rather, I reached a point where the story absolutely refused to continue being suppressed in the recesses of my soul. It demanded to be seen by the light of day; to be released out into the world. And so, I became an author.
To my surprise, the world responded. I've since been interviewed on international television, been featured in numerous publications (Forbes, The New Yorker, The Huffington Post, Inc. Magazine, GOOD, The New York Observer, Lifehack, etc.), spoken in front of large audiences, and have been able to open many doors through my writing.
More importantly, I've received messages from many people from around the globe who share my values and passion for improving the human condition. Many told me that my book moved them to tears. One person even told me that my words prevented them from committing suicide.
I tell you all of this because it took me seven painfully long years of doubting myself before I finally wrote the book I knew was buried inside all along.
If you know you've got a book buried deep down, I want to help you bring it to life -- so the world doesn't have to wait so long to discover yours.
We can strategize ideas around:
-Creating a central theme, structure and outline
-Finding your writing voice and style
-How to make people laugh, cry, and think deeper
-How to reach loads of people with your writing
-How to overcome fear of hate-mail (with exposure, it will surely come)
-How to get press (if applicable)
I can also answer any other questions you have about the writing process.
Cheers to harnessing the superhuman power of storytelling.
