Anyone else ready to get their first book done?
Hello. I've been trying to write a book for many years now, but keep getting in my own way. It's time though! And I'm taking the first bad draft approach, i.e. better to get the first book out self-published to get over the hurdle and then go from there. Looking forward to getting some guidance on support on making that happen, and making it good enough. :)

Julie - I thought I saw some resources for those of us at Level 1 when I first joined. Did I imagine that? Or has something changed?
A quote on writing that I love
“A work-in-progress generates its own energy field. You, the artist or entrepreneur, are pouring love into the work; you are suffusing it with passion and intention and hope.”― Steven Pressfield, Do the Work The more you engage with your book — even if it's just a minute of writing — the more energy it will generate. It's a self-propelling machine.

Love this, and I've found it to be true. Thanks for reminder. Just what I needed today.
A word about the dirty draft, from Anne Lamott.
"Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something -- anything -- down on paper. A friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft -- you just get it down. The second draft is the up draft -- you fix it up. You try to say what you have to say more accurately. And the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to see if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, God help us, healthy." - Anne Lamott

This approach helped me overcome writers block. It's so simple and yet so powerful.
