Extracts from How The Hell Do You Write A Book

You may not know, but over the last few weeks I've rebranded my podcast from Networking LAB to "The Buffalo Sessions".

In the latest episode I interviewed Vicky Quinn Fraser author coach and the awesome ADHD writer behind How The Hell Do You Write A Book.

Vicky has been there and done it, dropped out of A levels, University, had jobs she hated, and writing books for and with other people.

In the show, Vicky shares a LOT of value, I just wanted to pick some of the highlights.

She shared 4 tips:

1. Know what the North Star is for your book. What does this book mean to you and what do you want it to do for you. Think about the goals for your reader as well.
2. Chunk it down. Don't sit down to write the whole book in one go. Break it down into little pieces, it makes writing the book much easier.
3. Make the time. You're not just going to fit it in amongst everything else in life. Make time if this is important to you, schedule the time and put it in your diary. Find the time when you are at your most creative and write then.
4. You don't have to write to write. You can record voice notes, get someone to interview you and then take that content and then get it down in print.

In the interview she talks also shares tips for writing, breaking down the structure, and how AND when you should start promoting your book.

If you've ever thought about writing a book for your business... then this is the episode to listen to.

This is also the episode to listen to if you don't think that a book would be suitable for your business.

I'm just reading her book as part of the process for writing my own book in collaboration with Gillian Schofield - Be More Buffalo - How To Get What You Want From Networking.
