Back Defy the Myths, Get Your Book Written--Fast! - Part 1 by Judy Cullins Defy the Myths, Get Your Book Written--Fast! - Part 1 Judy Cullins ©2004 All Rights Reserved. Why don't you write a book? Most people complain it takes too long. They are too busy. One professional coach said she was not a natural writer. An entrepreneur feared it wouldn't sell, or it would be too much effort. A professional speaker says she is so busy marketing herself, she doesn't know where to find the time to write. These are reasons, but they aren't real, they are myths.

Getting Your Book Written--Six Myths and Options 1. Takes talent. Actually, the less writing know how you have, the better. In my innocent beginnings I thought I was a speaker, a trainer, a teacher, a coach. I didn't think of myself as a writer! Yet, because my audiences kept asking for information to take home, and from encouragement from other writers, I started writing short books, booklets, and special reports. I didn't write the end-all-be-all book of 200-400 pages. Instead, I wrote a series of short books, each taking about a month. No more messy (and unprofitable) handouts. I saw a need and filled it. While I had heard of agents and publishers, after I checked this traditional publishing route, I found it didn't serve me. First, it takes too long--even two years or more. Second, nobody cares more about your book than you do. You are the one that can get it done and out into the hands of your audience. When you don't know what you don't know, you can forge ahead with self-publishing like I did. And, you can also consult with an inexpensive half hour phone book coaching session too. Turn to the talent of others.
