How to Never Miss a Great Writing Idea Again

I don’t know about you, but my biggest problem is that my best ideas come when I’m doing things other than writing.

Sometimes, when I’m driving my car, a brilliant  idea will occur to me for an article or for the next chapter in my book.

So I’ll pull over, whip out my pad and pen and start writing. And when I’m in a creative window like this, the ideas just keep on flowing.

One day, I drove to the library for some distraction-free writing time. I parked in the car park under a tree. The library is on the edge of a park which makes the car park really shady.

And as I turned off the engine I had a brilliant idea for a short ebook I’d been wanting to write.

I got out of the car and opened the back door to get my writing bag off the back seat, but the idea was so clear in my mind that I didn’t want to lose it and waste time going into the library and setting up my stuff.

So I got into the back seat of the car, propped myself up with my back against one door and my feet against the other, and started writing.

I outlined my brilliant idea and then started writing the ebook. I just sat there for a couple of hours, writing and writing.

I vaguely heard other cars coming and going but I ignored them because I was so focused on what I was doing.

It was a really great window of inspiration and by the time I’d finished, I’d not only completed the first draft of my ebook, but I’d also outlined a few brilliant marketing articles to help promote it.

And I never actually went into the library at all.

But I know that if I hadn’t stopped right there and then, my window of opportunity would have been missed.

That’s the problem with getting a great idea when you’re out. By the time you get home to your computer, the inspiration is gone and the idea is lost.

So when the idea is there, and the opportunity to write it is there, just do it.

And if you have enough time to write a whole chapter of your book or write a whole short report then grab that opportunity too.

Ideas are a gift. You don’t expect them. You don’t pay for them. They’re given to you.

And the best thing you can do is use them straight away, because the gift is only offered once, and if you don’t seize it, it’s gone.

Grabbing every gift and using every window of inspiration can lead you to writing your next great book.

But only if you grab the opportunity when it’s there.

How to Publish Your Book Quickly, Affordably and Make It Available Worldwide.

As a writer, you probably already know how easy it is to make money writing and publishing “How-To” ebooks.

But did you also know that every time you write an ebook, you’re missing out on making many more potential sales?

If you have a great idea for an ebook and you know that there is already a hungry market out there, eagerly looking for the information you’re providing, then there is no doubt at all that, with the right marketing, you WILL make sales.

But why stop at just one ebook at a time?

The real “secret” of maximising your ebook income is to turn your one ebook into several different products.

Doing this will not only save you time (because you’re doing everything at once), but can also dramatically increase sales.

So how can you do this?

~ Publish a print book and an ebook which is instantly 2 products instead of one.

~ Expand each chapter and turn them into individual short reports

~ Read your ebook aloud and record it as an audio book

~ Bundle your ebook and audio book together as a package deal

~ Bundle your print book and audio book as a package deal

~ Bundle your short reports and sell them as a package deal

~ Add your short reports as bonus products for your ebook to increase the price

And because it’s easy, and free, to publish both print books and ebooks it won’t cost you anything.

And if you have a recording device, you can record your audio books for free too.

Creating all these products at once will really increase your productivity too.

So if you have an idea for an ebook, don’t just write one book, turn it into several different products that you can bundle together AND sell separately.

If you don’t, you could be leaving a lot of money of the proverbial table.

Want to Do More Writing? Get Lost!

I find that one of the hardest things about working from home is distractions.

So far today, it’s only 1pm but I’ve already had 3 phone calls, one visitor, several frantic emails to answer plus I have to call someone later who insists on speaking with me.

See?

Distractions.

This is why it’s good to get lost if I want to write.

But I don’t get literally lost.

I’m just lost from other people.

I go out to a park or to the library and ignore everyone.

Sometimes I go and sit at the back of my garden because it’s far enough away so that no one can be bothered to disturb me (I have quite a big garden).

I don’t have an internet connection on my computer when I’m ‘lost’ and I don’t answer my phone.

I write without looking up and I have my earbuds in and I listen to audios so that no one will stop to speak to me.

The audios are not only entrainment audios that help me stay focused and creative, but also help to block out all other sounds so I can get ‘lost’ in my own little world for a few hours, get amazingly creative and astound myself with how much writing I can get done when I’m left in peace to do it.

So if you want to get more writing done, first of all you need to get lost.

Using The Write Tools For the Job

Writing fast is important, but so is writing well.

I don’t feel creative writing straight to the computer.

I’m much more comfortable sitting and writing with a pad and pen.

And it’s not just any old pen. It has to be a fountain pen because I find it so much easier to write with. The ink flows easily onto the page with no pressure required.

Of course the only problem is that I then have to sit and type up my work.

That’s usually not a big deal because I can type fast.

But my chair needs to be at the right height so that my arms are comfortable.

Working this way may be slower than writing straight to the computer but it works for me because it keeps me writing.

Writing straight to the keyboard makes me not want to write and the creative process in my brain is slower.

So I write the way I want to because that makes me want to write.
