Episode 162: 3 things to focus on in the middle of your book-writing journey

This is week two of Nicola’s three-part series that’s all about the stages of writing a book: how to get started (last week’s episode), what to think about in the middle, and what to focus on when you’re moving towards completion. The core content Nicola covers is the basis of her new group programme: Birth Your Transformational Book (link below). This episode is very much about the middle stage.

In this Episode:

• The middle stages of the book-writing process can feel a bit messy
• What transformation do you want to hold space for?
• Sharing your own story, a process, principles or themes, or a combination
• What do you want to leave your reader with?
• What do you want the reader to experience as they read your book?
• Harnessing the power and potency of fears and doubts
• Alchemizing fear and doubts into compelling writing
• How do you want to write your book?
• What kind of style do you have and how can you bring that through?
• Being curious about other writers you enjoy reading
• Using your own personal stories to illustrate key messages and themes
• Inviting your ‘too muchness’ in
• Sharing more of your story than feels comfortable
