Overcoming Procrastination - An Author's Own Road Block to Writing an eBook

Hi!

Have you been meaning to write a book, but have too many other things to do?

I've experienced this same dilemma and can recall myself saying, "Someday I'll write a book". With determination and persistence, I finally did. I actually wrote two novels and a guidebook on how to write an eBook. The feeling of writing a book is very rewarding and I highly recommend it.

I used several techniques, including establishing a writing schedule, which I believe was the key to my success. I set aside time each day to write. Mornings worked best for me. So, I blocked my calendar, turned off my blackberry and became "unavailable". I call it "going underground". It worked for me, maybe it'll work for you.

"There is no perfect time to write. There's only now."
- Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara makes a compelling point. Don't let procrastination stop you from fulfilling your dream of writing an eBook. Start today!

If you need some help getting over the hump, pick up "The Procrastinator's Handbook, Mastering the Art of Doing It Now", by Rita Emmett.

I also have more helpful ideas in the guidebook that I wrote, "YES YOU CAN...Write an eBook! Your 5 Step Plan", which is available from our eBook Store; www.eBookGuides4Life.com.

Just think, if you write one page per day, you'll have a 365 page book in a year.

What are the things holding you back from writing your eBook?

eBooks Are User Friendly Even For the Technically Challenged

Are you one of those people who are a bit intimidated by technology? Do you consider yourself to be technically challenged? Are you still writing books on a typewriter? Okay, that last question was just plain silly right? Well, you may be surprised at the number of people that I've spoken to that are not comfortable with computers and haven't really embraced the whole concept. Rest assured, there's nothing to fear about eBooks or eBook Readers. Trust me, it's the next step in our technical evolution and is very convenient and easy. An eBook is merely an electronic file that you can download to your computer, laptop, blackberry, eBook reader or any other device that can read a PDF file. Authors can convert their book from a Word Document to a PDF and upload it to a reputable site and voila, they have just ePublished an eBook. Readers can download eBooks quickly and conveniently from the comfort of their own homes. If you're still feeling uneasy about ePublishing eBooks or buying eBooks, just let me know and I'll provide you with more details in hopes to ease your concerns. What are the things that are holding you back?

Authors Are Jumping On Board the eBook Train!

One of the most exciting things about our business is when Authors cross over from the traditional thinking of hard-copy publishing to electronic publishing. This is an obstacle for many Authors, but when they realize the power of eBooks and break through any barriers that they may have, they are rewarded by the opportunity to sell their eBooks to readers around the world. Many of our Authors have done just that. They've self-published or had a contract with a Publishing House, but still have their electronic rights to their book. Perfect! They have many options available to them to get their work out to the world. And that's what we're all about. We're here to assist Authors in ePublishing in order to offer their eBooks on line to the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at no cost to the Author.

Price of eBooks

Hi.

Have you been wondering why the price of eBooks seems to be inconsistent? I've seen eBooks range from $2.00 to $150.00. The thing is with most eBook sites, you don't really don't know what you're paying for until you've made the purchase and then it's too late. We at eBookGuides4Life, have a transparent approach to this to assist potential eBook buyers. We provide the number of pages, file size, sample of the eBook, testimonials (if available) and an Author biography. We want to ensure that our customers have a good understanding of what they're purchasing. Our philosophy on pricing is that eBooks should be at least 50% less that of a hard copy version, due to the lower costs. There is literally no distribution or printing costs involved. So as an Author, it's good to have an awareness of the price range that your eBook is being sold for to ensure that it's competitively priced in the market and for our eBook customers, be sure to know what you're buying. How much do you think eBooks should sell for?
