5 writing hacks that will help you write and finish your book on time

Before I became an Author, I used to take weeks or months to come up with good content that matches my ideas. However, when I sat down to work on it, suddenly everything will become more interesting than I was thinking. Most often it was hard to focus on writing. Millions of distractions were always at my fingertips. Notwithstanding, I have been able to learn new writing techniques with time.

Before now, once I had an outstanding idea to write on, I would think I need to do much to make it standout. To achieve inspiration, I used to move from one end to room to the other just to seek for the perfect environment. What was amazing was that, at the end of each chapter, I would find the content childish. The solution for me was to focus on this 5 key points.

5 things you need to focus on writing

If you’re struggling to finish all of your writing projects, you’re not alone. I almost always get questions about how I focus long enough to accomplish all the writing I need to get done. I will try to answer that in today’s post.

1. You need a real paper

Computers are incredible. They have made our lives so much easier, but when it comes to focusing, paper is necessary. When we write, our minds have a million thoughts running through them. How do I want to organize this chapter? What are my main points? Have I already introduced this character?

I’ve found that actual paper and a real pen give me more power to answer all these questions, and allow me to better focus on the writing when I turn to my laptop. Working with a book coach is also a great way to gain focus and finish in record time.

2. You need time

The best way to focus is to give yourself quality time. My book A Million Dollar Author’s Path gives you an idea of how much time you need and how to find time amid a busy schedule. There is a great benefit to taking few minutes to learn how to write a book that makes a difference with zero distractions. We focus best when we know we have a scheduled time to dive into a project. When you write, you delve into another world. You always need to connect to your inner spirit and refresh yourself with where you left off and where you want to go.

3. You need deadlines

Deadlines and I have a serious love/hate relationship. Without them, I get nothing done, but with them, I’m often miserable. However, at the end of the day, I need to pay rent and buy food, so deadlines it is. Do not just set deadlines for weeks and months in advance; set deadlines for what you will accomplish before lunch. You will focus better on knowing exactly what you need to do before you get out of your chair.

4. You need a pattern

Before I established a pattern in my writing life, I was lucky to roll out of bed before 4 am. I worked when I felt like it and did not accomplish a lot. But when I did finally establish a pattern, my whole writing life changed. Establishing a pattern will help you write more consistently. Either way, we are creatures of habit and focus when we are consistent in our lives.

5.You need a place

You need creativity. Seating on one spot for a very long time might cause writer’s block. Changing your writing environment regularly is a great way to help you write better. I will make a video before the end of this week on how to identify the best place to gather ideas for your book. You can just check back at my YouTube Channel. Finding a place you know you can focus on writing is the key to getting the writing done.

Focusing takes practice

Although I always picture myself typing furiously, crafting word after word into beautiful sentences, it never looks like that. About eighty percent of my time is spent holding my pen, brainstorming, and wondering if these books will write themselves.

Happy writing. You can also check out Patrick Njapa testimonials on how he was able to write and finished his book in less than 4 weeks.
