Write a novel

The one thing you're missing to become successful +bonustip.

Want to become really successful? Get rich from your books? Only write bestsellers?

I can show you how to get a good step closer to that.

But first, we need to clarify: What is success anyway?

SUCCESS

According to duden.de, success is a "positive result of an effort; occurrence of an intended, desired effect."

According to spektrum.de, "Success, in motivation or learning psychology, refers to certain reinforcers that make similar future behavior more likely and generally have an activating effect (formation of contingencies between action and reward)."

So success is achieving goals that you have previously defined or which are generally desirable.

What is your goal? That your book will be a bestseller? Forget it.

I have a feeling that many think success is easy. They say many novels and books have become bestsellers "overnight" after all. But is that true?

The short answer is no.

The long answer is: Behind these novels, too, there are years of practice and experience. There is also a lot of work behind them.

In most cases, it's not the first book that succeeds. Maybe the first one published. But not the first. You might not see in the book how much work is behind it. But it is behind it.

HOW DO YOU BECOME SUCCESSFUL?

If you have understood that being successful is not that easy, you definitely want to know how to become successful now.

The key to success is continuity.

To be successful, you have to write more and more books.

You will get better and better. With each chapter, with each book.

And if you enjoy writing, isn't writing what you want to do every day?

Yes? Great! Then I'd say you should do one thing right now: write.

BONUS TIP

My fans, or those who stop by the Community Newsfeed often, may already know it.

We've all had those days where sitting down to write those 1,667 words seems impossible. But 10 words? You can do that. And then 15 words? You can do that too! The idea of this crawl is to break up a big wordcount into tiny, manageable chunks so it doesn't seem as daunting. It's really good for days when you just don't feel like writing, because by the time you've gotten through a few steps, you're ready to keep going!

So without further ado...
