3 Questions to Ask Before You Publish a book

 

Wondering how to publish a book? Before you decide whether to go for a traditional publisher or to self publish, ask yourself these 3 critical questions.

You’re writing a book (or thinking of writing one), and the biggest question on your mind is whether to self publish a book or look for a traditional publisher. But how do you choose?

The Instant VIP: Insider Secrets to Fame, Freedom & Fulfillment As An Expert Author by Ronda Del Boccio, The Story lady (Front Cover)

Thanks to modern technology, it is easier than ever to publish a book. This is both a blessing and a curse for the author who is considering which publishing method to choose.

The good news is that there are more publishing options now than ever. The bad news is that there are more choices than ever.

So how do you choose whether to self publish or seek traditional publishing?

The three questions in this article will help you decide. Be sure to get crystal clear on your answers before proceeding.

1. What is the purpose for the book?

 

Knowing your purpose for writing the book won’t in and of itself determine your publishing option, but without knowing your purpose, all other questions are moot.

Why you are writing the book is absolutely the first thing to consider. Everything else flows from the “why.” Because for one thing, without a strong purpose, you’ll probably never even finish writing a book let alone publish it.

If your purpose has to do with a dream of being blockbuster author, prepare yourself for plenty of work no matter how you publish a book.

2. What is the outcome you want to attain with your book?

 

Before looking at publishing options, it is a good idea to be clear about your goals for the book. Knowing the goal determines the steps you take.

There are numerous possible goals an author could have for creating the book. Writing a book simply to tell a story is very different from writing it to generate leads for a business. And writing the book to prosper a charity is another goal entirely.

Say your goal is extremely personal. An example would be telling the story of your family heritage to preserve it for future generations. Unless your family is noteworthy, the book is not likely to be something a traditional publisher would support.

So write down your goal for the book before deciding publishing options.

3. What is your level of commitment to the book?

 

No matter which way you go with publishing a book, it’s important to know how much time and energy you are planning to commit to the book once it’s published.

If your notion is to get the book published and see what happens, you are treating your book’s success like a lottery ticket. Maybe you’ll hit it big. Maybe not. If you look at the results this way, don’t plan on gaining the support of a major publisher.

If you are willing to throw yourself heart and soul into growing a following (which publishers call a platform) and promoting the book, you are likely to grow your reputation as an expert no matter which publishing option you choose.

Get clear on your intentions before the book. Write down your desire, goals and expectations. Include your commitment, including time, energy and resources you will put into your book.

Once you do this, you are ready to consider whether you will go through the arduous task of seeking a traditional publisher or whether you will self publish.

What Are Some Good Journal Writing Prompts to Break a Habit?

 

Writing is a powerful way to discover what is going on in the deepest recesses of your spirit. It could even help you break a habit.

Stewing VS Writing

It’s amazing how different it is to let yourself write about your experience as compared to simply mulling things over in your head.

Just stewing, mulling, or mentally going through things in your mind often brings no change in the emotion. No resolution. No shift.

Here’s a story about one of the many wonderful people in life. I’ll call her Amy, and she may be a lot like you.

 Amy’s String of Bad Breakups

After her latest heart-wrenching breakup, which was the worst ever for her, Amy said, “Why is it I always end up with a guy who’s bad for me?”

Have YOU ever asked a question like that, either to yourself or a friend?

Certainly, there is no one answer for everyone. All Amy knows now is that she feels awful. She may not even realize there is a pattern she has the power to break.

But inherent in the way she asked, with her voice full of angst, is self-loathing,

Unfortunately, Amy invests energy into emotionally beating herself up, but she could choose to focus on breaking the habit.

  

Chances are excellent that nobody will be harder on you than YOU.

 

What Amy said next revealed just how much she was beating herself up emotionally about what she calls her bad luck with men.

Amy said, “ I must be exceptionally stupid.”

What a hurtful thing to say about yourself!

How about putting this into a different perspective.

  

Psst!

have you ever tried getting someone’s attention?

You start with a whisper.

If that doesn’t work, you speak up.

If that doesn’t work, you tap the person or speak louder.

  

Hey!

 

If that doesn’t work, you may shout, jump up and down or take the person by the shoulder.

You will keep doing things more forcefully until you capture the person’s attention, right?

 

That’s how the universe or God works.

 

Amy didn’t get the message the first couple times she had the same experience, so she had some even worse ones to capture her attention.

There’s a reason so many different traditions speak of God as a “still, small voice” or something similar.

The idea is that you first get the message softly.

If you don’t pay attention, you get a louder message.

If you still don’t listen, the message gets louder and louder until you finally decide to change something.

You have to be still and present to catch the message the first time.

 

Given all this, you might be wondering if you’re stupid, slow or otherwise damaged for not getting the softer message.

No! You are NOT damaged goods. You are not stupid. You are simply receiving messages that can actually show you the key to changing the pattern until you get the message. Plain and simple.

  

Life is about learning and growing.

 

As you become more observant, you will discover that you catch the lesson sooner, before the universe has to shout to get your attention.

So rather than stewing and chewing over things in your mind, now you can write.

Write all your feelings

Write the patterns you notice.

Write a plan to make any changes you choose to make.

  

The Power of Writing

 

Writing your observations is an excellent way to get past the habit and break its hold on you.

Flow –  Let your thoughts flow. Write freely.

No need to edit.

Gentle –  Be gentle with yourself.

Love –  Show yourself love. You are a cherished creation!

The question Amy asked about why she has this habit is a good one.

However, asking from a place of love, or at least from neutral, is a powerful starting place.

The test –  Be your own friend.  If a good friend treated herself or himself the way you are treating yourself, would that feel right?

 Facing the Blank Page

Perhaps facing a blank page leaves you feeling uneasy.

Journal writing prompts can help you start.

Prompts help you ask good questions, move through the emotions and enter a journey of self discovery.

 

Useful journal writing prompts to break a habit

  

Here are some good questions to get you started.

What is the pattern I observe?

What am I trying to gain?

What is the most loving thing I can do right now?

 

Write on Purpose!

 

There is a program that guides you along a path of self discovery and personal transformation called Write On Purpose.

You receive a dozen kinds of writing prompts to guide you through different situations, such as

• overcoming signs of stress,
• moving through stages of grief, and
• creating the life of your dreams.

You also receive a powerful teaching in both audio and written form to support you along your journey. You can write in your very own Personal Transformation Zone that is uniquely and especially yours. This is your private arena to cut out all distractions and be with yourself.

Additionally you become part of a community of other people who enjoy writing for self discovery, personal transformation and self expression.
