This is going to be a quick newsletter this month because I have a lot going on lately! Today I’ll finish the second draft of Blake Jordan #10 and I’m also in the process of publishing the audiobook versions of books #1 and 2 read by the great John Pirhalla.
As excited as I am for you to listen to John’s performance (it’s going to blow you away) and as much as I can’t wait for you to read my new story when it comes out in the next few weeks, I have to tell you about how I got here. Because once I hit publish, I’ll start to get emails asking me how I do it and quite a few readers telling me how they wish they could write a book, too. I’ll look pretty good, like I have it all together. But I don’t…
Because the creative process isn’t perfect. And neither am I.
If you were to look at my big wall calendar, you’d see a lot of blank spaces on most days of the year where an “X” should’ve been for having done my work for the day.
You’d see me staring at a blank page that should’ve had six hundred words on it.
You’d see me deleting and rewriting a lot of words. Two steps forward, one step back.
But you’d see me pressing on, regardless.
Tomorrow is December 1st which means the countdown is on: 31 days to hit my goal. And if you’ve followed me for a while, you know how I am with going after big goals…
If you have a dream in your heart, something you want to see happen, write it down.
Because a dream written down becomes a goal.
And a goal broken down into small daily steps becomes a plan.
And when you have a plan, and it’s backed by action, a dream becomes reality.
You have to be relentless when it comes to what you want in this world. Because if you don’t go after your dreams, just know that someone else will have you help them go after theirs. I have a big dream to release another story you’ll love within 31 days. -Ken
