Happy New Year!
So… I’m doing something crazy.
I’m writing a book in 30 days.
Since launching my ghostwriting practice last year, I’ve now signed a dozen new clients to help them with their books.
And last month, I got a crazy, audacious request: “Can you write me a book in a month?!”
I said yes.
Why?
Because I love a good challenge.
And because I’m a little crazy.
Also, because I think it’s possible.
The truth is that you can write a book in a month by simply setting the right daily word count goal and getting it done.
I learned this years ago when I started my first book back in 2011 and realized that what it takes to get a book done is writing 500 words per day. Every book I’ve ever written I’ve done it by doing just that:
Set a goal. Give yourself a deadline. Write a little bit every day to make the outcome inevitable.It’s really just that simple.
But why do most people never do this?
Because of accountability. When we set our goals in private and try to accomplish them in private, when we’ve never done them before, there’s a high potential for failure.
That’s why I created a writing group years ago called My 500 Words, a free community for writers to encourage each other and hold one another accountable. I did it to help me finish my book.
And as a result, over 10,000 have joined that group and been writing for years!
So I want to invite you to join me. Not to write a book in 30 days. That’s crazy!
But to join me in writing a little bit every day. 500 words. That’s how books get done. It’s how articles get written and emails get sent and blogs get built.

P.S. I’ll actually be writing a little bit more than 500 words a day to accommodate the book I’m working on for a client. So if you want to just tune in and watch me do this crazy thing, feel free to join the challenge!
