Don’t Wait… Just Write

You Are The Only Person Who Can Write ItLet me take you on a roundabout way to why you should (1) write, now, (2) pat yourself on the back, and then (3) publish with Balboa. First,–I am not lecturing you here–but if you think about it, there is no writing “tomorrow.” Tomorrow means “someday” or “when I get around to it.” Write now. Do not correct and polish as you go. Just get out a first draft, or just write the start of whatever it is you are thinking about. It does not matter if it has typos, is graceless, or embarrasses you. The point is, it is a beginning you can edit it later. The most important thing is to get it down once. In any old form.

Know Your Writing Style

You Are The Only Person Who Can Write ItSecond. Not even my wife likes my fiction. Therefore, I stick with what I am good at, nonfiction on topics I know about. There are things that you know better than anyone else in the world. More intensely, with more feeling. Does not matter whether those things are topics for fiction or nonfiction. You are an expert, more than that; you are the best person in the world to get those things in front of other people. Pat yourself on the back. You are the big cheese. The only cheese who can do it.

There are no “stupid questions.” The team members know you are new at this self-publishing stuff. They know it is confusing, even hydra-headed. Trust them.
