Start Writing Your Book!

You know what’s really funny about me and writing? Even though I’ve written five books, I still look at myself in the mirror and say, “Nah, you’re not a writer.” And yet I’ve done it. Five times. I sat down and put words together in a way no one else has before.

What was I thinking?! How on Earth did I get the courage to start and the perseverance to finish?? And why is it that even after all this time and all these books I still don’t think of myself as a writer? Does that happen to you too? Do you do something daily and even excel at it? And then in your secret moments, do you ever feel like a fake? Like you’re faking it until someone catches you? If you do, you’re not alone. Every single one of us who has ever dared to create something out of nothing feels that way sometimes.

But you know what? I’ve figured out the key to confidence. It’s not being certain of your skills and abilities. It’s to be uncertain of them and to want to share them anyway. So, I’m here to encourage you to do it. Get out there and do your thing. And if writing a book is what it’s about, grab this week’s podcast episode and also the Start Writing Your Book Today workbook I’ve created to help you get started. Fill out the workbook and you will have the outline of your first book.

In the podcast episode, I detail my process and give a lot of ideas on how to get going and more importantly how to finish. If you have questions about how I do it, please get in touch. You can find me at izolda@izoldat.com or DM me on Instagram at @IzoldaT.

Now that I’ve unleashed Speak From Within on an unsuspecting world, my thoughts turn to book six. I’m excited to get started on the next one.

What about you? Do you want to write a book? If you did, what would it be about? How would you start your writing life? Drop me a line and let me know.
