How to Find a Book Idea From Scratch without any experience.
What’s My Book Going To Be About
Hey, Coach Enoch, here. And in this post, I’m going to help you answer the question, what’s my book going to be about? So, don’t worry about this, I know this seems a little intimidating. It is all about finding the right book idea for your book.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a book idea. If you don’t even know what the heck you’re going to write about yet, don’t worry, we’re going to tiptoe into that.
And you’re going to kind of be able to wrap your head around it and figure out precisely what you want to write your book about. The first question to ask yourself – What is your why?
What’s your purpose for this book that you’re going to write? And the way that we’re going to get you to start thinking about this is we’re going to do a little free, right? And the assignment for this lesson is is to take 10 minutes to answer the question.
What will my book be about? Now I know that sounds probably pretty intimidating unless you have just a crystal-clear vision of what your book is going to be about. So, don’t worry, we’re going to break it down a little.
I’m going to break it down to this video. And we’re going to make this assignment painless. And it’s not going to be all the pressure on this one assignment to figure out what your books about.
We just want to get you started writing, and we just Want to get you to take out that pen and paper or do it on your computer if that’s easier, and actually just start getting words on a page.
So, a few important things. While you’re doing this free, right? We want to make sure that you reject nothing at this stage, just write and flow, anything that comes from your head, just put it on paper, and keep writing do not filter anything.

Now the one important thing is to time yourself for 10 minutes. And if at the end of this 10 minutes, you’re still writing, keep on going, that’s good. Keep going; let it flow. You need help. Here are a few prompts that you can use during your free writing.
One is I am interested in cooking. I would like to write about that I am writing a book because and I joined this yoga program etc. All we want to get you to do is just start exercising that writing muscle if only for 10 minutes.
And what we want you to do is just write anything that comes to your mind if you can Think of anything right about how you can’t write anything and you can’t think of anything. It’s that may sound a little crazy.
But our past members have done this and found huge success. And this really just takes developing your mind to the next level, and you start tapping into what are your interests? What could you easily write a book about? Why are you writing this book?
Start tapping into all those things. And you will be exceedingly amazed at how things will really start to flow.
And from my experience seeing this exercise done, my guess is that you actually keep on going past 10 minutes and it’ll be really helpful.
And then we’ll dive into the next chapter, which will give you some more fundamentals on how to find a book idea if you don’t already have one, or how to refine the book idea that you already have. So, go ahead and get started.
