LESSON SUMMARY

Many people have the dream of writing a book, but few follow through on this dream. Whether consciously or not, people tend to create a convincing list of reasons why they should not write a book, but rarely do aspiring writers—or even experienced ones—sit down and clearly define all the reasons why their book MUST be written, regardless of anything else. For a mind-body-spirit author this is especially important, because the factors that motivate someone who writes in this genre are generally far more intrinsic than they are tangible. This is what makes them unique amongst authors.

In this week’s lesson, you will:

1. Learn some of the most common obstacles many writers invent, whether consciously or not
2. Conduct an honest, self-examination about your beliefs, your fears, and the “rules” you have made up
3. Learn strategies for overcoming your obstacles
4. Learn the importance of knowing why you are writing
5. Create a “life purpose” for your writing career, to which you will return time and time again, as a point of inner recovery
