5 Qualities of Successful Authors #2 Commitment

Commitment_TickoverRedCircleMaking a commitment to something – or someone – is all about making a pledge or a promise … and then engaging yourself totally in the fulfilment of it.

As far as your writing is concerned, developing and strengthening the quality of your commitment will mean the difference between writing or not writing, and taking action or allowing resistance to hold you back.

Commitment sets the scene for all of the small choices that you make every day in relation to your writing.

It also guides you when you come to make the larger decisions regarding how to move forwards when you’re ready to take your work out to the marketplace. And it helps you to access the information and support you need to do so.

Ultimately, your degree of commitment to your writing will be a strong determining factor in your experience of ‘success’ or ‘failure’ – however you choose to define what those terms mean for you.

IACCW Member Event: Seven Practices to Find Your Authentic Voice

Julia McCutchen interviews Andrea Beaulieu eeandrea_03351

Thursday 3rd June at
16:00 BST / 11:00 EST

We all have it – that still, small voice that urges us gently, quietly, but ever so confidently, in the direction of our highest good. It is our authentic voice – the one we were born knowing. Then, through experience and the conditioning of the mind, we often lose our conscious connection to it, except perhaps during times of danger, or when we have surrendered to our authentic self so deeply and joyfully that we hear it and follow it.

That same voice is the voice of our highest creativity. It is the voice that gives us the perfect idea, solution or direction. It gives us the perfect words and actions to express our uniqueness. It is the voice that shows up when we face the blank page, if we listen for it and to it. It is our authentic voice.

Lessons Learned from a Successful Creative Launch

Perfect_momentAbout this time last year I made a decision to pursue an idea for a major new creative project despite having no idea how I was going to make it a reality or if it would actually work!

Yet I felt deeply inspired to focus my energy directly on my true passion of opening the way for people to discover their authentic voice – on the page and in the world. I also felt a strong impulse to serve a wide, international audience of aspiring and published authors who value a conscious and creative approach to writing for publication.

So I found a source of high quality, reliable information which resonated with me, and I took action to learn what I needed to know to transform my vision into reality.

Along the way, I had to pause to take care of other commitments and priorities. Yet the vision was taking shape so powerfully that I knew intuitively I was on track and chose to trust the unfolding process completely.

Fast forward to today and I am just emerging from what can only be described as the hugely successful launch of the International Association of Conscious & Creative Writers (IACCW).

So here are five of the valuable lessons I have been reminded of from this experience which can be applied to creating and launching any project:

Publishers Optimistic About the Future

Optimism-rainbow_over_lakeMany publishers are feeling generally optimistic about the future of the industry. Yet according to Gail Rebuck, chairman and c.e.o. of Random House Group, 2010 will be a year of ‘steady’ rather than stellar results leading towards a ‘tectonic’ shift over the next few years.

She is not alone in her view that the book trade will see the recession through but needs to prepare for continued unprecedented change over the coming years with the increase of interest in all things digital. HarperCollins UK chief executive and publisher Victoria Barnsley agrees, ‘The day when we sold only hardbacks and paperbacks will be looked backed at with wonder.’

One of the big questions about the digital future is whether it will gradually erode the popularity of print books – and ultimately replace certain types of books altogether – or encourage a new audience to enjoy the experience of reading great books?

Emerged Creative Vision – Details Ready to Share

IACCW logoI hope that 2010 has got off to a great start for you. The full/blue moon on New Year’s Eve seems to have brought in a new wave of energy which I sense is going to make a major impact as we head into the new decade – exciting!

At last I am ready to share the details of my ‘emerging vision’ project. It feels like a perfect moment to do so and I can barely find the words to express how significant this feels and how passionate I am about it.

The project has arisen out of the fact that I find myself to be on a mission which I have chosen to accept fully.

My mission is to open the way for people to discover their authentic voice – on the page and in the world.

There are 3 main reasons why I am so motivated about this …

The Creative Vision Emerges

EmergingVisionAfter many months of engaging ever more deeply with my ‘emerging vision’ project, and taking the action required for this vision to show up in the world, I have reached the penultimate stage of this phase of the journey.

I am at the point where I can see before me the tangible evidence of my efforts over the last few months … and I totally love it!

Before I take the final step and reveal the details in just a few days time, I am pausing to appreciate the experience I have had and the enormous growth this project has demanded of me.

So what can I share from my experience that may be of value to you?

7 Steps to Clarity When Choosing Your Writing Subject

Ideas_lightbulb_tulipsHaving lots of different interests and ideas is an issue that many writers have to deal with. In fact one of the first stages of the Writer’s Journey is all about reaching a point of clarity regarding what you really want to write about.

Even if you have just one main area of interest, often there are many different facets of that topic which you could write about.

The truth is that publishers usually do prefer writers to specialise in one subject area. One of the main reasons for this is to do with establishing yourself as an expert in that area.

It may be that you are able to combine one or more related topics such as personal development ideas being applied in a business context. But becoming known and visible in the world as an expert in an identifiable niche is what really counts.
