What inspires you to write?
Writing for me, serves two purposes. One, if helps me create a deeper level of clarity of that which I’m trying to convey to my audience. Two, it allows me to reach a global audience that can benefit from my knowledge and experience.
Tell us about your writing process.
I love Mind Maps, so that’s where I start. First, it’s a general Mind Map of what I can potentially put into this book, kind of a brain storming session. Then, I turn the Mind Map into an outline, but maintaining some of the Mind Map methods to keep it creative. This becomes the backbone of the book, what is going to be in it, and it mostly defines the chapter headings, although that will change and evolve as the writing unfolds.
What advice would you give other writers?
Write your book fast! Commit to say 1 hour a day and you will have a book completed in one month or less. My new book “The Quick Fix To Any Problem” was written in 25 days. Writing fast makes you super focussed and creates a momentum that carries you through the tough times, including the typical ‘writers block’.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
These days, self-publishing is becoming easier and easier with the use of technology, great software and platforms like Amazon Kindle. It was an easy choice for me to choose self-publish
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I think the current trend of more and more self-publishing will continue.
With that, there will be an increasing challenge of how to distinguish between worth buying books and worthless junk. This will mean that there will be a bigger and bigger need for sites like this one (Book Goodies) where people can check out books before buying.
