    The Complete Writer Series

    By Geetanjali Mukherjee

    About this series

    Most writers struggle with making the time to write, fighting against their own fears and wishing they could write like the authors on bestseller lists. Many writers are perhaps struggling with finding the time and inspiration to stay the course, to continue to show up to the page despite the ups and downs of the writer's life.

     

    This book is a collection of essays that explore the challenges of finding time to write, breaking through writer's block, dealing with deadlocked projects and overcoming the fear of perfectionism, among other topics related to the writing and creative process. Some of the essays in the book feature lessons I learned from other writers, as well as from well-regarded experts in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

     

    I compiled this book of essays on the writing life with the hope that it will inspire other writers, regardless of whether you're working on your first book or twentieth. The writing life, while it can bring particular moments of frustration, can also be incredibly fulfilling. My hope for this book is that it will motivate writers who need inspiration to keep going, to keep coming back to the words, to the writing life.

      People often say: "I wish I had the time to write a book", "I wish I could take six months off to write", or "I don't have the discipline".   Many people want to write and have ideas they would like to express, but are intimidated by the process, by thinking that it is too hard or that they don't have the requisite talent, or think they don't have enough time to fit writing into their already packed schedule. If you would like to write a book but don't know how to start, are bewildered about the specifics or don't even know if you should contemplate writing, this book is for you.   There are many reasons to write a book.   Some people want to write a book for the same reason that others decide to climb a mountain or join an Ironman competition – it is a challenge, and you feel a sense of achievement when you have completed it. Maybe you would like to be able to tell your peers that you wrote a book. Or you want to become a speaker or consultant, and writing a book on your method or ideas will give you added credibility. Perhaps you would like to write a book for your grandchildren, telling them what it was like to live through the Vietnam war or the historic era of Obama's presidency or the global pandemic. Maybe you want to ensure that your family's favorite recipes are recorded for posterity.   Whatever the reason, if you have always wanted to write a book, but didn't think that you could do it, or didn't know how to go about it, this book will help you get from the blank page to a finished book.   What do I cover? The basics of writing a book, whether it is non-fiction or a novel, from getting the initial idea, to writing a first draft all the way to a finished book. I cover how to find time to write, dealing with writer's block and editing. If you have wanted to write a book for years, but did not know where to start, this book will give you the tools to finally have a completed book that you can hold in your hands.   I wrote this book to share my insights with others who may be struggling with putting pen to paper. I know what it's like to want so desperately to have the courage to follow a dream, but not know how to take the first step towards it. I still remember what it feels like not to believe in yourself. Not to think that you can do it. That you have what it takes. Or that you can keep going for the length of time it takes to write and edit an entire book.   I want to show you how to finally finish writing your book. To show you that you can take your dream from "I wish" to "I did".
