The number one reason many writers with completed manuscripts never get their work published is…
they don’t believe they can! I find this very interesting. Jesus in the scriptures, John 6:29 told the disciples, “This is the work of God to believe …” Belief is the cornerstone to all that we do or don’t do in life. Your belief system will make you right 100% all of the time. If you think you can – you are right! If you think you cannot – you are right!
This reminds me of a poem I committed to memory when I was in Jr. High School. This little poem has helped me to accomplish goals and dreams that never would have been a reality if I did not believe.
The Man Who Thinks (S)He Can
by Walter D. Wintle
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,
For out in the world we find
Success being with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you’re outclassed, you are:
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
When I wrote and published my first book in 2006, I did not have a clue as for what I was doing. I hired an individual to assist me. Paid him in advance and two weeks before my entire family (Mom, Dad, and all 13 of my sister and brothers) was planning a trip to Atlanta, GA from Winnsboro, LA., for a book signing – I had NO BOOK. I’m panicking thinking “I can’t let Dad and Mom down, so what I’m I going to say and do?”
All along I BELIEVED I was going to have a book published and a book signing, so I starting asking and talking with every person I thought could help. One of the secretaries down the hall told me of an online publishing company. I called – actually, I attempted to call – but did not reach anyone because this company was TOTALLY online! I got busy and got them everything they needed. About one day before the scheduled book signing, a shipment of my books was delivered.
So, if you have a completed manuscript ready to go, you can get published within 24-48 hours! Simply do this: OPEN YOUR ACCOUNT: Go to https://kdp.amazon.com/ (at the time of this publication this link is functional). Here you will open up your Kindle Direct Publishing account. Before you do that, I want you to listen to the video and click on the section at the bottom: “Get Started Today.” There you will see a link title Learn How Easy It Is.
