words in a month
So Black Crake Books is going to publish 50 manuscripts for
Free!!
You know you have a good story in your head. You know you
have been waiting for the right time to start typing this masterpiece, but
you have always found that you do not have the time to write. You work from 8am
till 5pm and you get home exhausted. You
start scratching your head wondering where to start but end up sleeping on the
sofa in front of the TV instead of getting a few words down.
Here are a few pointers that will help you reach 65 000 words
in a month.
Hard work
One thing you need to know is that the book is not going to
write itself. You are not going to wake up one day and find all the chapters
neatly stacked on the table waiting for you to read through them and submit. This
isn’t a fairy tale, there is no Rumpelstiltskin. Writing needs concentration, a
colourful imagination and hard work. You will have to spin dry words into a
string of beautiful golden sentences that will attract readers and have them
begging for more.
Determination
Do you want to be the next Mark Twain, Charles Dickens or
Jane Austen? All of these authors have one thing in common. They had
determination - They were determined to have their stories told. You have a
beautiful story. Black Crake Books is giving you a once in a lifetime
opportunity to have it published. To have your name in the list of famous authors.
Schedule
From the day we were born we were all allotted the same
amount of time to use in the day. How we choose to use it, though, is up to
us. If you are hardworking and determined you will always find the time to write your story. You can buy time
from ‘time.’ The time you spend watching television is time you could be using
to write. The time you use to browse the internet, take selfies, post pictures
is time that you can use writing. Make a schedule that works for you. Wake up
half an hour before your normal time and write. After work set aside two hours
before going to bed and write. If you spend at least 2 hours 30 minutes a day
writing you can reach the 65 000 words in a month. In fact you would have 70
000 words. So, is 65 000 words achievable? To the lazy the answer is no. But to the truly determined and hardworking, the answer is YES!
Motivation
All writers are acquainted with writer’s block. Although
they are hardworking, have the determination and the schedule to produce the
work they lack the inspiration. The words just simply refuse to be written, like
a petulant child that refuses to eat their vegetables. What can help? Reading
other books. Writers are readers. They collect words. Writers are travellers.
You don’t have to book a ticket to paradise, but you can imagine it. Make your
mind travel. Free your imagination by daydreaming. What also motivates writers
to keep writing is day to day activities. Authors are observant. They study people’s
mannerisms, accents, attitudes, tones, smells, attire and many other things. Try this exercise – walk to town and watch people. Watch how they interact. Watch how
they walk, how they talk, scream and shout. Watch their facial features, and
their stance. Their hair styles and their garb. Give each individual a story,
and you will find your creative juices flowing. Goodbye writer's block.
