DEVELOP AN APTITUDE FOR ATTITUDE

DEVELOP AN APTITUDE FOR ATTITUDE

Dear Exceptional Author,

Welcome to another edition of Masterstroke.

By now, I am hoping that you have explored where your authority lies and are planning to put a masterstroke on a certain book you can’t wait to write. That’s an exciting spot to be in if you can keep the enthusiasm going and believe in yourself.

Here we go with 3 things that must be put in place for an appropriate ATTITUDE to authoring.

Masterstroke #1- The YES I CAN attitude to all things is important to all aspects of writing. Though an authority on the subject you are writing about, finishing depends on maintaining a positive outlook even as you hit roadblocks along the journey.

Masterstroke #2- There are other professionals you will need to work with before your book is published. They include editors, book designers, cover designers, beta readers, launch teams and publishers. Make sure that you maintain the 3 P”S to a rocking attitude- PROFESSIONAL, POLITE AND PERSONABLE at all times.

Masterstroke #3- You attitude has the power to make or break your career. Keep it positive on all fronts. Be someone everyone else aspires to be.

Make good things happen.

Go on, put a Masterstroke on it!

SHOW YOUR AUTHORITY

SHOW YOUR AUTHORITY

SHOW YOUR AUTHORITY

Dear Exceptional Author,

Welcome to another edition of Masterstroke.

I trust that the last blog about building your authentic side, kept you busy reviewing and thinking about what it would take to become an authentic author for your fans. This week I’d like focus on the 3 things to implement to demonstrate to your readers that you are an AUTHORITY on what you are writing about. Here goes:

Masterstroke #1- Write about things that you know well already. When you know something well, it comes through your writing and is credible.

Masterstroke #2- If a subject intrigues you but your knowledge is limited, talk to professionals about it, read books, surf the internet and build on what you already know. Your passion and authority can still be demonstrated through your learning.

Masterstroke #3- Finally, you don’t always have to write stories or give advice to save the world. Your hobbies and interests are also enjoyable to write about. You may have a creative side and produce journals, calendars or organizers that require minimal content. You are still a published author if you do.

Go on, put your Masterstroke on it.

IN THE SPIRIT OF AUTHENTICITY

IN THE SPIRIT OF AUTHENTICITY

Dear Exceptional Author,

Welcome officially to 2021- the year of giving you the tools to produce books with your Masterstroke. Over the next few weeks, I will run a series called 3 things. You can look forward to 3 of the most important tips, tricks and hacks to becoming exceptional authors. This series will run indefinitely because in the world of authoring, all things are ever dynamic, requiring updated information all the time.

We begin this week with 3 things to change or enhance your Authentic side.

Masterstroke #1- Explore your values and ensure that your audience is aware of it. They will identify with you and support your work when they know that you have a value system in place.

Masterstroke #2- Make sure that your books, social media posts (personal and professional), presentations and every other thing your audience gets to interact with are in line with the values you project. You can’t preach being pro-arranged marriage and then flaunt your boyfriend on social media for a year. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Masterstroke #3- Write using your own tone and voice. You will struggles to write with ease when you choose to write in a style that is different from yours. Keep it real. Let your personality come through your writing.
