Write That Book: Get it Clear, Get it Down,

Writing
Maryanne’s Computer
Now the rubber hits the road. There is really no other way to start
writing than to start writing. It is amazing the excuses people
will come up with to delay this process. It is like putting a damper
on your soul.
Maryanne has been paying me monthly to coach her on writing her
book. We see each other weekly for one hour and talk about the subject
she is working on as I help her clarify how to tackle the project.
Rolled into our contract is that I edit her work as she goes along.
But she has given me nothing to edit. We have been working together
for three months and not a word has come from her. Why not? She
needs a new laptop.
Maryanne has a desktop computer but does not want to use it. She
has pen and paper but does not want to have to copy over everything
she writes. Perhaps she is just percolating ideas, and all will
flow out in time. This often happens. But sometimes people make
excuses. There is something stopping you from writing or you would
be doing it and you would not need to be reading this book. Whatever
that something is, get over it. There is no other way to write than
to write. Period.
