Write Yourself An Amazing Life (Your Input Is Needed!)

I want to try something a little different for you guys today and I need your help.

There are many difficult aspects to being a writer and we’ve probably struggled with them all at one point or another in our writing lives. Perhaps it’s having a partner who doesn’t support you, or not having enough time in the day, or perhaps letting a little of that ADD kick in.

I want to know what you struggle most with when it comes to writing.

I’ve partnered with entrepreneur Hussein Hallak who has founded over six companies and writes for Betakit, a magazine that analyzes start-up companies. We are creating a non-fiction book about writing yourself an amazing life.

Hussein comes from a completely different background than I, and has a very different approach to writing and marketing. We have two different perspectives about writing, shaped by our backgrounds.

We wanted to show not just how to be a good writer, since you can be a good writer but still be a struggling writer, but how to get an audience, make money and achieve your goals.

We want to teach you how to have it all as a writer. But as you know, my co-writer Hussein and I don’t have it all, at least not yet. So that’s why we will be turning to the experts in each field and interview them see how they achieved what they wanted.

The reason I’m so excited about this project is that Hussein and I will be learning right alongside you.

By bringing Hussein and my expertise to the table, we hope to inspire, teach and nurture you, not just to be a great writer, but now to live a great life.

We were thinking that we would start off with the fundamentals of writing, then go to the marketing, and go to family, wealth and relationships.

Here is the outline we have so far:

1) How to Start Writing

2) How to Market Even Before You Finish

3) How to Build A Core Audience

4) How To Work With Resistance

5) How to Have a Writing/Life Balance

6) The Finance of Writing

7) How To Be a Productive Writer

8) How To Create A Business From Your Writing

But before we start writing we want to know what you want to learn about being a writer. Have we missed anything?

Or should we take anything out?

We want your help in shaping this book.

Also if there is someone who you think we can interview that you think you can learn from please let us know. You can comment below or tweet me at @joelmarkharris
