Channelling and Writing – Interview with Author E.Dee Conrad
Posted by: | Comments
Today I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 6 of the Virtual Blog Tour for A New Dawn Awaits by author E.Dee Conrad.
A New Dawn Awaits is a compassionate and inspiring channelled collection of short inspirational reflections, bringing together wisdom of the ages, showing us how to access knowledge that has been part of our consciousness, but has been dormant, for eons. E.Dee’s intention in writing this book is to help readers reach inwards into their divine essence and outwards to the energy that connects us as one humanity.
Yesterday, E.Dee visited Shelagh Jones’ Wheel of Life blog at http://ht.ly/2C1hN. For today’s stop on the tour, as so many of my readers are authors in the mind-body-spirit genre, I thought it would be interesting to interview E.Dee on the topic of what it is like to channel a book, as I think it can be both a tantalising and daunting idea for writers. I asked E.Dee four questions on the topic.
* * * * *
Lynn: Can you tell us a little about your emotional journey of being “called” to write a channelled book?
E.Dee: I was 16 when I first realized I would write a book – but a “technical” one, not fiction, which somehow made it more possible in my mind. This realization lasted about 15 seconds and didn’t reappear for another 27 years! When it resurfaced, I was scared because it really pushed me out of my narrow comfort zone, but I was also excited because it felt like a project that would allow me to contribute to humanity on a scale I never thought possible.
Lynn: What advice can you give to writers who are curious to explore channelling but don’t know how to get started?
E.Dee: We all have the ability to channel and most of us do it on a regular basis – we just don’t realize it. It is easiest to “hear” what the universe or our higher selves are saying when our mind’s are clear and calm. The best way to calm your mind is to meditate. Personally, I prefer chanting meditations because they engage my brain and I find the sound vibrations to be very soothing and healing.
Lynn: How has writing a book of this nature changed your life?
I have become much more aware of my spiritual side and more focused on its development. Having read my book, I have tried to live by its suggestions, with a particular focus on becoming aware of my thoughts and thinking of others as I would like them think of me. This has shifted my life and brought more peace, harmony, joy and love into my life.
Lynn: Now that you have “transcribed” A New Dawn Awaits, do you have any desires to write a book you haven’t channelled?
No, I have absolutely no desire to write a book by traditional methods. When I channel a writing – be it a blog, article, or book – there is an amazing energy that flows through me. This energy is full of compassion and lightness and forms words. The reader also experiences this amazing energy because it is somehow embedded in and flows from the work.

Box Your Can’t-Get-Started Writing Blues by Laurel Marshfield
Posted by: | Comments
A great writing tip from Virtual Faculty member Laurel Marshfield of Blue Horizon Communications
The most difficult problem you face in writing your book can be summarized in just two words.
Getting started.
You have a brilliant idea, of course, and an outline or some notes. Maybe even a chapter draft, or two. But now what?
If you are like most will-be authors, you begin casting about for other things that demand your attention — first.
The birdfeeder needs cleaning. The gardening stuff at the back of the garage needs weeding. Heck, the entire garage needs to be emptied and put back in pristine order. It’s good feng shui, you tell yourself.
In other words, after the brilliant idea, the outline, the notes, and the drafts, you’ve earned the right to your resistance.
Why? Because you don’t know — that is, know specifically — what to do next with your book. Writing it feels so frustratingly vague, so frighteningly VAST.
So, you tackle the things that you do know how to do: birdfeeder, gardening stuff, garage. And then you feel guilty and pained. Uncomfortable.
But wait. You needn’t be stuck in discomfort. There is a solution to resistance. A simple solution. It is a . . . Box.
Yes, a box. Not a literal box, but the imagined form of a box, which you can use as a magical tool to get to work on your book — without suffering from let’s-just-do-other-things-first-itis.
Here is what it takes to create a Box:
::: First, you set a “start” time for your writing period. This is the top of your imagined box. (10:00 AM, say)
::: Second, you set a “stop” time. This is the bottom of your imagined box. (11:00 AM, say)
::: Third, you write a list of small and very specific tasks that you will complete during your allotted sixty minutes of writing time. This is one side of your imagined box. (For example: Write notes for Intro, list contents for Chapter Three, check Amazon for books about _____)
::: Fourth, you check off each task as you complete it (surprisingly reinforcing), during your pre-set writing time. This is the other side of your imagined box. (Notes: check; Contents: check; Amazon: check)
Why does this oh-so-simple Box strategy work?
Because, when you know precisely what you need to do, your mind will help you walk down precisely that road . . . writing the notes, listing the contents, doing the research.
But when you don’t know, how is your mind going to help you do that? It isn’t possible.
And so, your mind presents you with all sorts of other tasks, tasks it does know how to do — a brilliant solution for an unsolvable problem!
But the take-away is this: It really is up to you to tell your mind what to do. And you can do that best by creating a Box: Start Time, Stop Time, List of Tasks, Checklist (aka: Top, Bottom, One Side, Other Side).
One word of caution: Begin using the Box by assigning yourself a short, thirty-minute work period with a few quickly accomplished tasks. Practice a little, before you Box a full-out session of, say, two hours or more.
While you’re planning your starter session, I’ll tell you how I happened to invent this resistance-dissolving tool.
Several years ago, after my parents passed away, I was faced with the overwhelming job of organizing and selling the accumulated (and I do mean accumulated) contents of their home. I spent days wandering from room to room and floor to floor, wondering where to begin.
Finally, I started writing down what needed to be done in each room. And what needed to be done overall. And what might come first, second, third, fourth . . .
By writing lists, I made sense of the seeming chaos that had no discernible starting point for establishing order.
After that, I made a task list for my first day of real work, drawing courage from the preliminary order that my Big Picture lists had given me.
But in reading my task list, I felt myself slipping into avoidance. Should get light bulbs before stores close. Only seven hours left.
Thirty-five things shouted up at me from my task list on that first day. Important Task! Very Essential Task! Get This Done, or Else!
But, I reasoned, I had all day, so. Why not take a break, for right now? Go buy those light bulbs.
Ironically, a light bulb went off in my mind, just then. The avoidance-busting Box solution had arrived.
I made a new list, one with just three things on it. Then I looked at my watch, gave myself an hour, told myself that if I got all three things done in under sixty minutes, I could have a small reward. Thus primed and motivated, I set to work. And it worked.
After my reward (not buying light bulbs), I Boxed another hour’s worth of tasks and churned through my second set.
On good days, I was able to get through seven or eight work periods this way, leaving my parents’ house after nine or ten in the evening, driving an hour and a half to get home and feed my cat, before falling into bed, exhausted.
In the end, I got it all done by using the Box. There were estate sales, the house sold, and the rest is a strategy that can be used for anything.
But it is especially helpful for authors struggling to leap over their resistance to writing . . .The Book.
So, whenever you feel stuck, just remember this little resistance-dissolving mantra:
Start Time, Stop Time, Task List, Checklist.
Box Your Book Time, You . . . Won’t . . . Resist, BigTime.

7 Keys to Writing Great Ezine Copy for Your Book Launch
Posted by: | Comments
Campaign manager Lynn Serafinn shares a simple formula to give power to your words
If you are planning an Amazon campaign for your book launch, you will need the help of a great network of personal and professional friends to help you. But something you might not have thought about is the fact that you will need to provide some “ezine copy” for them to use to help promote your book. That’s right: YOU will have to provide the article or articles your “joint venture partners” (JVPs) will send out to their lists.
The reason for this is two-fold. First of all, your JVPs are probably pretty busy, and if you ask them to write an article for you, it is less likely they will have it ready in time to meet your timetable. Secondly, YOU are the person who knows best what you want to say about your book. Those are the two most important reasons why you should write the “copy” (article) for your JVPs’ newsletters when they offer to promote you. And you’ll need to write several over the course of the campaign, in order to speak to the different audiences your partners represent.
I know this might sound a little daunting to some of you, especially those of you who don’t like the idea of “selling” (which covers just about 99.9% of the mind-body-spirit authors I know), so I thought I would give you a little formula to get you started, so you could see it is not so much about selling at all, as it is about connecting and inspiring the reader. It’s a stripped-down part of a lesson I teach in Module 4 (Your Book Campaign – Designing and Delivering) on the Spirit Authors site.
When you write your copy, make sure it meets the following criteria:
- It is between 400-700 words.
- It is written casually in the 3rd person as if the JVP is writing about you.
- It arouses curiosity in the title and opening line.
- It inspires the reader by sharing something meaningful about you and your book.
- It has a specific place where the JVP can (and should) personalise it.
- It’s NOT a sales letter but…
- It has a short, clear call to action at the end (i.e., it tells people when, where and why to get your book).
How to keep it real
The key thing to remember when you create your copy is that the primary purpose of it is to arouse curiosity, and not to “sell” your book (yes, I thought you’d be happy to know that!).
The other thing to remember is to write it in the third person about you, as if your JVPs were writing the article. There is tremendous power in your partners’ saying, “I found this book to be inspiring.” Make sure your partners can personalise it at key points in the article to make it more their own. And if “keeping it real” means that you need to send copies of your book to your partners, do so (or at least a pdf version of it). It will help them say (nice) things about you in a much more authentic way.
And most of all, don’t make your ezine copy just about the book. Make it about YOU. Audiences like to know the person behind the book. Talk about how the book came to be. Bring the reader on a personal journey. Let them into your world. If you only talk about the book, a vital human connection will be missing.
I hope you found this article useful as you prepare for your book launch. If you have any questions or comments, I would be happy to reply to them below.

And if “keeping it real” means you need to give advance copies of your book to your partners, BE GENEROUS and do so. At the very least, send them a pdf of the galley print.
See an example of this in action
If you want to see an example of this in action, have a look at the article I wrote called “How to Have a Life Well Lived” on my “Cosmic Universe” blog. I was the campaign manager for Patrick Ryan’s book campaign, so I made this copy (and several others) for the JVPs on his Amazon campaign. If you analyse it carefully, you will see 7 key elements I mention above.
It must have worked, because his book went to #1 in spirituality in Canada and #2 in the US on the day of his launch in April 2010.

TOP 10 Reasons Why an Outline is Important When Writing a Book
Posted by: | Comments
NOTE: This article is an abridged extract from Spirit Authors Module 1 Week 2. You can Test Drive Module 1, or any of the other 5 Spirit Authors courses on writing, book promotion, publishing, and business-building, for only $1 for 14 days at http://spiritauthors.com.
If you are in the middle of a book project and you keep getting stuck, or it seems to take on a life of its own and go “all over the place”, it’s probably because you have no outline OR you did at one time and you have since abandoned it. Because I have seen that so many new authors writing their first book do not make an outline before beginning their project, I thought I’d share with you the TOP 10 Reasons why defining a structure and creating an outline for your book is so important:
- It makes writing easier. When you go to sit down to work, you know exactly what parts of your book need to get done. And remember, just because you have an ordered outline, you are NOT committed to writing it in order. You can start anywhere.
- It makes reading easier. Books that have a structure are easier for readers to comprehend.
- It makes your message memorable. Readers can remember your message when there is a structure attached to it. It makes abstract concepts more memorable, and enables readers to feel they have gained something they can take away from the book, after they have finished it.
- It helps ensure you are thorough. If you have an outline, you won’t accidentally omit something vital to your message or storyline.
- It helps limit continuity errors. While thoroughness refers to ensuring that all important thoughts and details are included in your text, continuity refers to ensuring your thoughts and events following a logical sequence. An outline can help you see the continuity of your book before writing it.
- It helps ensure your book has symmetry. Symmetry means that all the assembled parts of your book have a “shape” when pieced all together.
- It helps ensure your book has balance. A good outline can help you see if some parts of your book are less substantial than others. A well-balanced book is organised in such a way that the ideas are balanced both in quantity and in quality against each other.
- It helps keep you focussed. When you have an outline (and stick to it) you won’t be as tempted to go off on a tangent. This doesn’t mean you will NEVER deviate or come up with great new ideas. But if the outline is there, you can see how these new ideas fit into your original intention.
- It helps to motivate you. When you have an outline, you see yourself making progress and ticking off the “boxes”, so to speak. This helps keep you motivated as you move closer and closer to your goal of finishing your book.
- It helps you develop a regular writing practice. If you have an outline to depend upon, you are far more likely to sit down at your desk (or wherever you happen to write) and START WRITING rather than waiting for the “muse” to shoot arrows at you.
And, incidentally, did you notice I just used STRUCTURE to create an OUTLINE for how I presented these ideas, by saying “Here are the TOP 10 REASONS”? When I decided to write this post, I FIRST decided I would find 10 top reasons, and then I started writing. I had never organised them in such a way before, but the outline “made” to article write itself. Isn’t it a lot easier to remember them than if I simply talked about the topic without a structure?

Secret Diary of a Cosmic Alchemist
Posted by: | CommentsHi everyone. If you haven’t seen a blog post from me for while, it’s because I’ve been more or less intravenously connected to my PC for the past 3 weeks getting ready for the big Grand Opening of Spirit Authors, which is coming up in only 3 days (yikes!).
I wanted to share with you my realisation that Spirit Authors was actually something I’ve been dreaming about in some form or another since I was a teenager.
Let me tell you a story.
When I was 15 years old, I was a classical violinist growing up on Long Island, New York. I played in several youth orchestras and also in opera companies. Well, in one of these opera companies was a very handsome young boy my age named Bobby. I had a fierce crush on him. Bobby was a brilliant pianist and one day he asked me to come to his house to attend a piano recital he and his sister were giving. Of course, because I had such a school-girl crush on him, I immediately said, “YES!” I went to the recital, my heart pounding as I sat in the small, but enthusiastic audience. As I practically swooned to the strains of Chopin, I could not possibly know this event would change my destiny.
Sitting in the small basement recital hall, I thought to myself:
I love this feeling. I want to duplicate it every day of my life. I MUST open a school some day. I want lots and lots of musicians to come and play, and lots of people to applaud them. I’ll have lots of teachers and there’ll be so much stuff going on. So much music. So many people. And I’ll be the one who brings them all together. I will create the space and open the doors and they can create the magic.
From that day, I decided it was my life’s ambition to open a music school.
Well, I did go on to become a music teacher. I did indeed hold many music recitals for my students. It was wonderful to see their friends and families applauding them and their faces shining with self-satisfaction. But I never created a full-fledged school.
Later in life, I moved to the UK, became music technology teacher, and did a Masters in distance education, where I learned to create online courses. I loved the idea of distance learning because it opened up the entire world to education. I had a vision of transforming the lives of thousands of people who had no access to higher education by creating online courses. Think of all people I could reach who would not otherwise be able to attend an educational institution! I thought.
I pitched this dream to a potential employer for a job as the head of a large Performing Arts department at a college here in the UK. Well, I got the job, but after two years, I realised that no one was really interested in my creating some big global online virtual learning environment. I guess it had sounded pretty cool during the interview, but when it came down to day-to-day operations, this vision simply didn’t fit into the status quo. I left the college, somewhat disheartened that no one shared the vision.
Not really knowing my direction, I did what any self-respecting 50-plus-year-old single woman would do in the middle of a mid-life… um… transition:
I decided to write a book.
Ok, I know that sounds like a non sequitur, but I had been writing poems and stories since I was 12. I had also just finished ghost writing several spirituality books for another author, and it had rekindled the spark inside me to publish a book in my own name, in my own voice.
It was during that same time period I became a coach. In one of my early training courses, we did a visualisation called “Future Self” (perhaps some of you have done it too?). During the visualisation, I saw myself as an old woman running a school, with lots of teachers, lots of people…
Hmmm… and yes, they were all playing music… but not the kind of music you listened to with your ears…
They were all playing the music of the heart.
Well it took me a few years to discover exactly what this elusive vision meant, and what it was calling me to do. After toying with many different “rough drafts” of what it might mean, and after becoming a self-published bestselling author, and establishing a successful practice as a book promotion coach for mind-body-spirit authors, it finally “hit” me:
It was time to create Spirit Authors.
It’s true. Spirit Authors was to be my “music” school AND my online learning environment. This would be the place that would turn up the volume of the music in the hearts of thousands, if not millions of people.
“Millions?” you ask?
Think about it. Let’s say I can help even a few hundred (say 500) spirit-based authors become published and launch wonderful, inspiring books that help to elevate the spirit and connect with Self in one way or another. Then, let’s say each of those authors is read and loved by even as few as 2000 readers worldwide. That would mean 1,000,000 people were being touched and transformed, whether directly or indirectly, by this humble project called Spirit Authors!
And I feel the magic already starting. Ever since announcing my intention to start Spirit Authors, I have enjoyed phenomenal help and support from hundreds of people. It’s as if the Universe is saying to me, “Yes! This is what was calling you back in the 1960s when you sat in Bobby’s basement listening to his unforgettably compelling rendition of Polonaise Militaire. We wanted you to remember that feeling so you could help others harness this same Cosmic Alchemy for themselves, and create a more beautiful world through their collective spirit and literary brilliance.”
So that’s my goal.
By the way, Bobby never asked me out, but I just found his website on the Internet, and apparently he’s still changing people’s lives with his stunning piano playing (still pretty cute, too!). But I’ll never forget him because it was that one moment when my heart swelled with the spirit of his music, that my life path became permanently altered, to bring me here and now, with all of you.
Thanks for reading.

The Number One Thing You Need to Write a Book
Posted by: | Comments
If you want to write a book but just can’t seem to get going, maybe you still need the most important ingredient. Author, coach Lynn Serafinn of Spirit Authors explains.
Perhaps you’ve dreamt of writing a book, but just didn’t know where to start.
You might have told yourself you needed something “more” before you could even think of beginning such a project. You might have told yourself you needed more training or technical understanding. You might have told yourself you needed more time or self discipline. You might have told yourself you needed more connections, more talent, more ideas, more originality, more confidence, more language skills, more… well, you fill in the blanks.
After years of professional experience as a musician, writer, teacher and a coach who works with creative people, there is one thing I have learned: as soon as we humans start to impose such “I-can’t-do-this-until-I-have-more-of-something-or-other” conditions upon our dreams, we completely shut down our natural, creative process. While this is true for all people, it is especially true for the soft, sensitive and highly reflective types of people who write in the mind-body-spirit genre.
I’d like to invite you to forget for a minute about all the things you might have told yourself in the past. There is really only ONE thing you need in order to write a book, especially a mind-body-spirit book: You need to be able to identify why your book must be written. Only when you have truly identified the greater purpose for your book will you be able to get behind it 100%. A clear purpose will serve you far greater than any other “practical” element you have might imagined you needed. During the publication process of my first book, I myself encountered several roadblocks where I worried I might lose hope, but, time after time, the greater purpose of my book brought me back into balance, got me reconnected, and kept me going to bring it to the level of success I wanted.
This is why the very first lesson of Module 1 in the Spirit Authors course is entitled “Identifying Why Your Book Must Be Written”. Notice I use the word “must”. I believe, in the greater scheme of the Universe, your book “must” be written. It’s essential you also believe this, and that you know the reason why this is so. I don’t take an intellectual approach to guide you through this discovery, but a true coaching process to help you uncover all the hidden layers of resistance that may be blocking you from fully connecting to the heart and soul of your book project. Even if you are already writing a book, or have written books in the past, this lesson gives you practical tools to explore and discover the essence of the “life purpose” of your book, so you can not only get started, but stick with it even when the going gets rough.

While you’re there, be sure to sign up for our News Updates on the home page, so you can receive VIP invitations to our broadcasts, including a week of FREE webinars during our Grand Opening 22-26 February 2010. We have a very special guest panel of successful authors, publishers and promotional experts, all with a mind-body-spirit focus, lined up to inspire and inform you. Whether you’re a new, experienced or aspiring author, I know you won’t want to miss it.
Please DO leave your comments below. I LOVE hearing from you!
Lynn Serafinn, MAEC, CPCC
I have networked with Lynn for more than a year and each project has been successfully implemented. She is a great person to work with as a joint venture partner because she really knows how to use social marketing in a way that gets powerful results.
Most recently I worked as a JVP with Lynn Serafinn on an Amazon book launch for Allison Maslan's 
Living life is often like navigating oneself around a hall of mirrors... Reflecting a myriad of our inner qualities. Some mirrors show us a distorted vision of ourselves, we are ugly, fat, unhealthy and unlovable and some mirrors reflect our beauty, wisdom, kindness and compassion. Lynn Serafinn offered me a picture of clarity, strength, commitment, deep knowledge and vast generosity. She literally showed me how to reach up out of my pit and grasp my own power. I've had so many ideas kicking about in my head, but never had the bottle to put them 'out there' before. The mirror Lynn reflects is one of pure self empowerment and I would recommend anyone to gaze into her reflection.
