How to Write Your Worst Book Ever: Authorpreneur, #2
()
About this ebook
Still struggling to finish that book?
Perfectionism holding you back from even starting?
Or maybe procrastination has you waiting for that elusive day on the calendar called "Someday"?
PRO TIP: "Someday" is nowhere to be found on ANY calendar.
In fact, there's only one day on the calendar you have complete control over: today.
This short book isn't even so much about writing a book as it is "getting over yourself" and "breaking through our limiting beliefs."
We put so much pressure on ourselves to "work hard" and "make it perfect" that we are often swamped with stagnation and we make zero progress.
What if it were easy?
Bradley Charbonneau
The following is an excerpt from the foreword to Bradley's upcoming book "Every Single Day" (available Oct. 17, 2017). "He no longer resembled the mopey dejected "former writer" I'd known. He became unstoppable. A machine. It wasn't just about the writing, either. It was a deeper transformation. He became much more confident and bold. He was inspiring and even intimidating in some ways. He wasn't the same person anymore. He took risks and wrote books and closed his business and moved his family halfway across the world. He's done so many things I couldn't imagine "2012 Bradley" doing. That he couldn't imagine actually doing. I barely recognize my old friend these days, and I'm glad. He realized his dream and became a professional writer. This book is only a small piece of the proof of that." -- John Muldoon, excerpted from the foreword to "Every Single Day"

HOW TO WRITE YOUR WORST BOOK EVER
LAUGH YOUR WAY THROUGH A UNIQUE APPROACH TO GETTING OVER PERFECTIONISM AND PROCRASTINATION AND GETTING IT DONE
BRADLEY CHARBONNEAU
repossibleDEDICATION
To those of us who struggled and suffered, whined and moaned, tried and tormented, and thought it was true that we all must write a book.
And to those who dared take 10 days to write their Worst Book Ever and put an end to the torment, suffering, and whining about … not having written a book.
And … to the Bradley of October 31, 2012, who was scared, sad, and solitary in his quest to become a writer and didn’t.
Yet.
An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

PROLOGUE
This book came into existence because I, author guy with 30 books counting this one, hear this kind of thing so often:
Oh, I’m working on a book, too. It’s almost done. I just need another few years of research and to interview another 17 experts. Oh, and then I’ll need to …
PATRICIA PERFECTIONIST
PARFAIT (GO.REPOSSIBLE.COM/PARFAIT)
I used to talk with them and try to inspire them and help them. But I finally learned: they’re probably never going to write that book. Or maybe they will. It’s OK. I’m good with it. I hope they are.
I used to do the same thing. Talk about it, dream about it, but not actually do it.
For years.
Ouch.
Then there’s this guy:
Oh, you’re an author? Yeah, I thought about writing a book. But I went to dental school instead. You know, I did something real with my life.
RITEOUS B. JELLOUS
They’re pulling the old Oh, you couldn’t get a real job?
or even the I’m better than you!
and maybe it’s just me but I think they’re possibly a little envious of the artist in an author. You see, I’m of the firm belief that there is an artist in all of us. That artist within just needs to be unlocked.
Smile and wave, boys, smile and wave. Just move on.
Or my personal favorite:
I’m going to start writing a book as soon as ___________.
(fill in with fake life-altering event that may or may not ever happen)
PETE PROCRASTINATION
PARDONHEIM (GO.REPOSSIBLE.COM/PARDONHEIM)
I thought about putting together a book or course (or forced internment camp or cult compound or luxury resort holiday … ) where we wrote Your Best
