Most aspiring authors think the first step to publishing a book is opening a blank document and starting Chapter One.
It’s not.
Before you write the book, you have to become the writer.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the training season most authors need. Books aren’t written by bursts of inspiration. They’re built by feedback, discipline, and creative passion. That comes first through training.
We’ll talk about:
- How writing a book is like running a marathon
- Why you need training
- How to train to write a book
- How to know when you should write a book
If you’ve been staring at a blank page or keep dreaming of writing a book but never acting on it, this episode will show you what to do instead.
