I came across this video recently and, even though I’m not a big fan of the title (I’m skeptical of anyone who touts easy steps to a bestselling novel), it has some really good advice for those who are struggling to get words on the page. I also like that he breaks down his ideas into 7 basic steps, simple things we can all do.
If you’re having a hard time getting started with your writing, or sticking with it, definitely take 14 minutes and give this a watch:

I came across this a while back. You’re right, it does have the basics but the title bothers me. Yes, someone may write a best seller by watching that video but it will be rare.
The old saying – If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Use it as a study guide but keep your hopes and dreams in check.
