When you are writing a book, you’re bound to go through times when you don’t feel like writing or have writer’s block to deal with this; you may need a collection of tools, techniques, and experts that you can use to help you get started writing, find your message, or get rid of writer’s block. Writing a job that not everyone can do, sometimes you feel like giving up writing due to many XYZ reasons. But don’t you worry; here are some tips to Encourage Yourself To Complete A Book This Year:

Write on a daily basis

One thing that works well for artists and writers is writing often. Even if you don’t want to type a single word, just write anyway. It makes your brain do something that makes it easier to find the link between your daily life and your creative side.

Set small, daily writing goals that you can reach. You can tell yourself that you will write 100 words or one page every day. After 365 days, you’ll have a book with 365 pages. You can write a chapter a day if you want to finish your book faster.

Make it a habit to sit down to write every day at the same time. If you say you’ll write in the morning, do it at the same time every morning.

You can also put your book up for pre-order on Amazon and give it a date. This will give you more motivation to finish it by a certain date. If you write down your goals and look at them every day, you’ll finish your book quickly.

Don’t fix your work as you go.

I see a lot of writers make the mistake of trying to edit as they write. Don’t edit until the very end. When you keep switching between being creative and editing, you lose steam.

Progress is one of the best ways to keep people going. So keep writing, and wait to edit until the book is done.

Stop being distracted.

Get rid of things that will keep you from writing. To write a book, you have to give it your full attention. Make a place where there are few or no distractions from outside. Turn off or put your phone on silent. Put a sign on your door that says “Do not disturb.” Use a white noise machine to block out noise from the outside. Your goal is to get into a state of flow and get rid of all the things that might get in the way.

Have a break and relax

Don’t be afraid to set your book aside for a few days if you’re stuck. When you’re ready to write again, pick it up again. Just make sure to tell them when you’ll get back to writing. Set a strict deadline for yourself, and make sure you meet it.

Changing your surroundings might be all you need to get yourself going. For example, try writing in a different room, outside, or on a different color of paper.

Speak Up

If you can’t figure out what to write, talk it out. Write as if you were talking to a friend. Think about telling your story to a friend as you write. As you do, write down what you say. What do you tell your friends when you tell them you’re writing a book? Put it on paper. What’s the point you’re trying to make?

Having a conversation with your book is a great way to talk about problems you need to solve for other people in a relaxed way. In addition, this technique helps you get past writer’s block because talking is often easier than writing.

Give yourself writing prompts

If you want to push yourself to write, try writing prompts. Among them could be: Describe where you are — Look out the window and tell a lot about the first thing you see. Write these down in a journal as if you were Darwin walking through the jungle.

Try a word challenge: open the dictionary and pick the first word you see. Then, use this word in a haiku or a short quote that your main character might say. Writers use a wide range of writing prompts to get their ideas and motivation going. Find a couple that works for you.

Most authors just can’t stay motivated 100% of the time. So don’t give up if you’re having trouble getting started. Many times when I didn’t feel like writing, these tools and methods helped me keep going.

Enjoy the journey

Even though it may seem like a given, try to have fun writing your book. This tip is great for people who like to be around other people and don’t like to work slowly or on small details.

Train yourself to appreciate the feeling of satisfaction you get from doing things on your own.

Give up things and make deals for your art

In a year or so, it took me to finish my book; I had to say no to things I would have liked to do, like taking vacations with my family and going on trips with my friends. I was more likely to finish it because I felt like I was making a sacrifice.

Keep reminding yourself of what’s important to you.

Staying true to your values when the rest of the world is always telling you what you should care about is a challenge in and of itself. So don’t let what other people say stop you.

Keep reminding yourself who you are and why your book is important to you and the world.

Don’t wait to write until you feel like it.

This tip isn’t at all new, but it’s so good that it needs to be said again! Don’t depend on that sometimes elusive feeling of inspiration to do your work. Your book won’t get written.

Even though I think I write better when inspired, I’d rather finish something slightly lower quality than not write anything at all.

Get in the habit of bringing your book with you, and keep going.

Set a deadline for yourself

I didn’t do this until I’d been working on my book for a few months and was worried that it would take a very long time and make me unhappy.

Spend time with people who have written books.

This will help keep you going. Just don’t do anything else besides this. And don’t put it off until after you’ve written.

Conclusion:

The first few pages of a book are always the hardest to write. It is hard to get started, no matter how strong your motivation or how interesting the topic is. So by following the above tips, you will be encouraged to complete your book this year.
