Once you have an idea for a book and a plan for how to get it written
and marketed, it’s time to put your brain to work with some writing
exercises. Here are 5 more tips to help your brain get the ‘WRITE’ idea:
• If you’re writing a particularly interesting or important section of
your book, leave it out where you can see it. It’s easier to just pick
it up and write for a few minutes if it’s readily available. Having
your work handy also generates ideas just by looking at it. You can jot
down those ideas in the margins of your work. (In our house my papers
may get moved in the tidying process. Make sure you know where your
spouse puts those tidied papers! Consider investing in an “inbox” for
those inevitable fits of housecleaning; that way, you will never lose
something important.)
• If you have kids, arrange to exchange babysitting or child watching
sessions with someone to allow you to write in a large block of time
during times when it’s your best time to create. I’m a morning writer
and a sports watching writer. Exchanging child sitting time must be
mutually beneficial. Using this kind of arrangement also removes any
guilt and frustration you might experience regarding finding and using
large blocks of time.
• Pay someone to look after the children. At crucial times in the book
authoring process this may be a good investment. This is especially
true if writing is a re-creational activity for you. You deserve time
for yourself doing what you want to do that has a positive impact on
your life.
• Request for your birthday a weekend retreat to write your book. Pick
a location that’s inspiring for you, relaxing but not distracting, and
where interruptions are at a minimum. It could be at a friend’s house
or cottage while they are away for the weekend. Or better yet, send
your family away on a great weekend vacation while you stay at home in
the comfort of your own office. This plan works just as well for a
single day as it would for a weekend.

brain to work for you, but even starting with these strategies will
