This is a good start to get us up and running! We can of course use Chat GPT to drill down even deeper into these chapter headings and support us with our research. Once we have enough information under our belt though it’s time to sit that butt down and start writing! Sounds easy when we put like that doesn’t it? It’s not always easy. In the next chapter we will look at some tips to keep that inspiration flowing.

Writing Phase

So have you sat down and started writing yet? Go you! As an author, we are always looking for ways to streamline our writing process and make it more efficient. The discipline of writing a non-fiction book can be an overwhelming task. However, with proper planning and goal setting, it can be a lot easier. Setting writing goals is a crucial part of the writing process, as it helps you to stay focused, motivated, and productive. Without goals, you may wander aimlessly into a digital void, making it difficult to complete your book. Here are some suggestions of good writing habits you could adopt.

Setting Writing Goals

You have your outline. Let this be your guide. Put aside at least one hour per day in an undisturbed place and write like your hands are on fire. A lot of the writing software has word count features which can be a handy tool to use. The average typing speed for an adult is around 40 to 60 words per minute, which translates to approximately 2,400 to 3,600 words per hour. The average length of a non-fiction book can vary widely depending on the subject, target audience, and the author’s writing style. But if you we use an average figure of 80,000 words, and you set yourself an achievable task of writing a 1000 words per day. You would have your first draft in 80 days. That’s not a bad timeline by anyone’s standards.

Just Write, Don’t Edit. Don’t be Precious

Whatever you write will have to be revised and eventually edited. Don’t think you can edit as you go to a perfect first draft. It’s never gonna happen. Don’t take our word for it. Listen to Ernest Hemingway when he said, ‘The first draft of anything is shit.’ If anyone knew their writing onions, it was Ernest. This isn’t meant to dispirit you, it’s meant to focus you. Write from the heart, write from wherever you find inspiration. Embrace Freewriting. This involves setting a timer and allowing yourself to write continuously without pausing or worrying about perfection. It helps unleash creativity and bypasses your inner critic. Above all, just write. Don’t edit and don’t be precious.

Writer’s Block

Overcoming writer’s block is one of the most challenging aspects of getting your book finished. It’s a frustrating feeling when an author sits down to write. They stare at the screen, but inspiration does not arrive. You have the added support of an outline and prompts to support you, but this evil curse may still strike. The first strategy to deal with this is to take a break.
