The Idea Person’s Biggest Dilemma

By Diane

Do you share my dilemma?

As a writer, I have lots of ideas. FOCUS is my biggest challenge.

Two things have helped me focus.

Before I tell you what they are, I’d like you to write down what you believe is the number one factor that is most important for any author to become a success, whether you’re published yet or not.

Go ahead-grab a piece of paper or open a document and jot down the word that is most key to any author’s success.

Got it?

Okay, now I’ll tell you the first thing that has helped me focus.

First, I ask my own audience (YOU) what you want to know. After all, if I don’t serve you, I’m just talking to myself. I want my ideas to connect-with YOU.

In one of my surveys, respondents told me the one thing that they most wanted help on.

It just so happens, it’s the one thing that an author needs most to be successful.

To find out what that is, and to learn the second thing that has helped me focus, go here.

(You didn’t think you could “cheat” on this exercise by reading ahead, did you? <g>)
