Author: Leon Newton

ISBN: 0741423936

The Newspaper Boy by Leon Newton takes a hard look at bigotry and its consequences through the eyes of a young Irish lad growing up in New York’s Lower East Side during the early part of the last century.

The story unfolds as we we learn about the poverty of the O’Connor family, the wayward behavior of one of their sons, Pat, and the tragic auto accident that took the life of their youngest daughter, Moira. We are also exposed to blatant anti-Irish feeling, wherein no matter how hard you try, you are never been accepted socially or professionally by some of your peers and the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant establishment.

The youngest O’Connor son and the novel’s principal protagonist, Eric, feels compelled to fight against this bigotry and to gain acceptance into mainstream America. Fortunately for young Eric, he is befriended by a Jewish gentleman, Ira Goldstein, who agrees to finance part of Eric’s university studies. When Eric asks how he can repay Goldstein, the latter replies that he already has, as he saved his life. Apparently, Eric walked into Goldstein’s jewelery store at the most opportune moment while it was being robbed, thus causing the criminals to flee before they had a chance to kill Goldstein.

However, Eric realizes that even attaining a law degree with outstanding grades from Harvard does not guaranty him a position with a prestigious law firm. The familiar Jews, Black and Irish need not apply signals are blatantly present. In the meantime, Eric marries into wealth and to a member of the very society that continually rejects him.

In a way, Newton challenges his readers to think intelligently about bigotry, class and racial prejudices. However, due to the brevity of the novel, these themes, unfortunately, are not fully developed and only surface now and then. Moreover, the novel would have benefited and the message would have been more effective, if there was the injection of a more profound dramatization of these issues and the immersing of the reader in the world of the story.

It is quite interesting to learn that according to the author, whom I interviewed, there had been feedback questioning him as to how he, an African-American, had the audacity to write about the Irish. Newton had further been asked as to why a Jewish gentleman sponsored Eric. No doubt, prejudices are still very much alive and kicking in today’s so-called modern world!

Another downside of this novel is that it is marred with its lack of editing and proof reading. Moreover, many of the supporting characters slide into abstraction such as Eric’s first love, Kay and his brother Pat, both of whom do play important parts in the story. There are also some incorrect historical facts, wherein the stock market crash is placed in the year 1928, when in fact it was in 1929, and reference to Hello Dolly, that in fact only acquired the name in 1964, although there were many forerunners to the play.

However, notwithstanding these flaws, the novel still merits reading, as it sheds light on the issue of bigotry, class consciousness, and racism that was not only targeted against Jews and African-Americans, but also the Irish during the early part of the twentieth century. Another plus is that it did entice me to keep on reading to find out what the hell happens next! Newton is a good storyteller.

The first thing I noticed when I purchased Sit Stay Fetch was that it is meaty.

SitStayFetch is one of the most comprehensive and complete dog ownership tools I have found. Let me say upfront I am a big fan of this Dog Training Package. I was very
happy when I discovered it and have used it to great effect with my own dogs ever since.

Sit Stay Fetch is over 150 pages chock full of all the latest dog training methods and techniques. This, along with the 4 free bonus books that come with it cover every aspect of responsible dog ownership and training.

From before you bring home your new puppy or older dog, right through to advanced obedience training, it seems nothing has been left out of SitStayFetch. If you have a specific question or problem that isn’t addressed you can even email the author Daniel Stevens for the answer! (This is another free bonus that comes with Sit Stay Fetch).

Daniel, who is a professional dog trainer clearly knows his stuff, he has a deep understanding of how dogs think, and what motivates them to do what they do.

What You Get In The SitStayFetch Package

1. SitStayFetch - Dog Training To Stop Your Dog’s Behavior Training

Well over 150 pages jam packed with dog care and obedience training advice. It also includes more than 100 photographs which prove to be a great visual learning tool. The book is very detailed and descriptive and offers clear step-by-step solutions to your dog issues. The main book is broken up into 9 seperate chapters, which I discuss in more detail below.

2. Bonus Book 1 - All The House Training Methods and Tricks

Everything you need to know to quickly and successfully house train (potty train) your new
puppy or even older dog. The two most effective methods of house training are discussed
and described in detail.

3. Bonus Book 2 - Secrets To Becoming The Alpha Dog

One of the key areas to learn and apply if you want a happy and obedient dog. This e-book is based around dogs having developed as pack animals and how you need to maintain the proper hierarchy in the owner-dog relationship. I found this part of SitStayFetch to be most beneficial in curbing some dominant/aggresive behavior in my Dalmation, Harrison.

4. Bonus Book 3 - Dog Grooming Made Easy

This book explores the different bathing, grooming, dental and clipping techniques needed to
keep your dog looking and feeling in peak condition. There are also some very
useful tips in this book on detecting early signs that something may be wrong with your dog.

5. Bonus Book 4 - Tips On How To Security Train Your Dog

It goes without saying that if you are considering training your dog to be a guard dog, you
need to do it the right way. This book outlines the correct methods needed to security train
your dog.

6. Bonus 5 - Free Email Consultation With Daniel

This is a great add-on to the SitStayFetch package, it can be used for any specific dog
related query you may have. Whether you are struggling to correct a behavioral problem or
would like to teach your dog a new trick, you can use this consultation to find the answer. I actually used this free service to fix a destructive chewing habit my mum’s Shih Tzu had developed. It took a couple of days to receive a reply from Daniel (or one of his team) but it was very thorough and did the trick with little Macy (the Shih Tzu).

Topics Covered Within SitStayFetch

As I mentioned earlier Sit Stay Fetch really is the complete dog ownership and training
resource. It’s not really fair of me if I detail every topic Daniel has included in the books, but I’ll just outline the 9 Chapters that provide the books framework.

1. It’s A Dogs Life

2. Caring for Your Dog

3. Training Methods Revealed

4. Secrets To Understanding Your Dog

5. Dog Problems Solved

6. Commands To Start With

7. Dog Whispering Uncovered

8. More Dog Problems Solved

9. Advanced Commands and Tricks
   

Some specific tips in SitStayFetch which I have personally found to be very useful:

• Daniel discusses and explains many of the dog training techniques and methods being used today. He then picks out a couple which he believes to be superior to the others. He bases this on personal experience and most importantly results. A relatively new technique called Dog Whispering receives a strong endorsement from Daniel.
  

• The right age to start your dog off with the various commands and techniques is also covered in detail. For example it is important to start your young puppies off with very basic obedience commands and short sharp training sessions. At this early stage in your puppies life anything else is pointless.

• Another great insight Daniel gives is that you should never call your dog over to
  reprimand him. This is because dogs need to be praised or disciplined within two or three
  seconds of their action (or inaction). So if your dog is disobedient, then you call him over
  to discipline him, he will think you are angry at him for coming to you. He will have
  forgotten all about the thing you are actually trying to discipline him for.
  

The list of Dog Problems addressed in SitStayFetch is extensive and is backed by real life
case studies:

• Aggression
  
• Thieving
  
• Biting and Nipping
  
• Travel Problems
  
• Coprophagia (poop eating)
  
• 2 Dogs In The House

• Nuisance Barking
  
• Jealousy
  
• Off-Leash Problems

• Climb
  
• Stand
  
• Crawl

What Type of Dog Owner Would Benefit Most from SitStayFetch?

The easy answer is probably - any responsible dog owner. But more specifically:

1. Anyone who is just about to get a new puppy or has just recently brought one into their family. If you bought SitStayFetch at this stage you would be able to use it immediately and right throughout your dogs life. It will help prevent any behavioral problems and correct any which may develop along the way.

2. Anyone interested in addressing a specific behavioral problem in their dog. This type of user would go straight to the relevant section of SitStayFetch and begin to remedy the problem immediately (or even use the free email consultation).

3. For a dog owner who wishes to teach their dog a difficult or advanced level command.
   

My Experience With SitStayFetch

I read the books from cover to cover when I first downloaded them (they are also available to order in hard copy). I picked up heaps of useful and useable tips right from the start. I was soon applying the recommended dog training techniques and have now
had great results with my own and families dogs. Even now, if one of my dogs looks to be developing any behavioral problems I reach for my copy of Sit Stay Fetch.

You are the best person in the world to train your dog - why not do it the right way, at home?

Reader Views is very excited to talk with author J. Everett Prewitt, winner of four first place awards for his debut novel, “Snake Walkers.” Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us today.

Juanita: J. Everett, please tell us the meaning behind the title of your book, “Snake Walkers.”

J. Everett: The title is based on a mythical African tribe that teaches its children from birth how to walk through a nest of poisonous snakes without being bitten.

Juanita: Give us a little insight into the main character, Anthony Andrews.

J. Everett: Anthony comes from an upper class family of Blacks that are more concerned with maintaining the status quo than seeking justice in the turbulent fifties and sixties. Through no fault of his own, he is book smart but nave about life. Because of his new job, Anthony is thrust into life threatening situations where he meets people he learns to respect. They have a different viewpoint about dealing with racial injustice and life in general, and Anthony’s perspective eventually changes.

Juanita: Is Anthony based on anyone you know?

J. Everett: I didn’t have any friends like Anthony, but I belonged to a social group of upper class blacks when I was a teen because of my mother’s status as an elementary school principle. I quit after a year. Some of them were as close as I got to someone like Anthony. There are some Anthony’s in the world today, so it wasn’t too hard understanding their thoughts about issues like civil rights.

Juanita: How does Anthony make peace with his childhood trauma by attempting to solve the mysterious abandonment of a small town, and disappearance of fourteen white men?

J. Everett: To Anthony’s credit. He confronts his demons head on. He works out and runs hoping that somehow this will alleviate his problem. Although he is a little gun shy at first, he continues to confront the violence that unfolds because of his discoveries and eventually becomes a stronger person because of it.

Juanita: “Snake Walkers” is a refreshing new look into the racial conflicts of modern American history. How common was it for ‘white people’ to go missing?

J. Everett: I’m not sure how common it was, but once I wrote the story, I began to hear numerous accounts of blacks in the south fighting back. One person told me that his family had a farm that was attacked by the Klan. His grandfather in telling the story simply said “They came on the property, but they didn’t leave the property”. I imagine there are quite a few stories like those out there. I’m hearing more and more as I give talks around the country.

Juanita: I would imagine you will continue to hear stories like this as your book reaches more and more readers. Who have you seen to be your audience, and what else are they saying about “Snake Walkers”?

J. Everett: My audience is as varied as the characters in the book. I’ve spoken to all white audiences, black book clubs, library groups and was even the keynote speaker at a real estate installation banquet. I’ve received only positive responses to the book thus far. Some questioned whether there were any people like Bobby Joe Byrd, a white man who fought for the rights of black people. I ask them if they remembered John Brown. I’ve been approached by both black and white members of the audience who say they could identify with something that happened in the book. I’m hoping that I can eventually address young adults, especially young black men.

Juanita: Tell us about the research you did for “Snake Walkers.”

J. Everett: I visited the cities I wrote about (except for Evesville), talked to a number of people there and others that were from there, read news articles and searched online for a lot of my historical information. An Arkansas writer was very helpful in referring me to books about Arkansas. The most helpful person however was a little old white lady who was in the library in Wynn, researching her ancestry. She told me more about the area than all of my other sources combined.

Juanita: How important is the need for a voice regarding this unacknowledged aspect of history?

J. Everett: It is very important. In portraying a minority culture or race, there needs to be balance. I can find a thousand books on hangings, beatings, castrations etc., but very few on families that confronted physical violence and won. Without balance, both those inside and outside of the culture or race tend to see that group as victims and act accordingly.

Juanita: What is/are the underlying theme of “Snake Walkers”?

J. Everett: There are a few. No one is “above the fray” when it comes to fighting injustice. Your strength comes from within. A strong, supportive family is essential when confronting insurmountable odds. Persistence and an open mind are necessary to navigate the treacherous mazes of life.

Juanita: You graduated from high school, went on to Lincoln University, was drafted into the army, all throughout the turbulent 60’s. What was your experience coming of age in these historic times, and how has that influenced your writing?

J. Everettt: Ever since I was young, I felt compelled to fight back against all the injustices I encountered. Although I was prepared, fighting was seldom physical. It did however require a mindset that color does not make a person inferior or superior. During those tumultuous times, this belief was challenged, but subsequently reinforced so many times that it was no longer a question. Because of that, my writing is based on telling stories of people with similar mindsets resulting in triumph and victory. That is the life I lived during those times and that was the life my family lived. My father, mother, uncles, aunts and cousins were great mentors in that respect since they repeatedly overcame barriers and went on to become very successful people.

Juanita: What was your inspiration for writing “Snake Walkers?”

J. Everett: I remember hearing stories in my youth about retribution, rebellion and confrontation by blacks in the south from different elders, and those stories stuck with me. A Mr. Johnson put it most succinctly when he observed that “They didn’t all win and we didn’t all lose.” I also videotaped my father, an uncle and an aunt about their history growing up in Arkansas and I often wondered why nobody ever wrote the stories I was hearing. I decided I would. There is an African proverb that states, “Until the lions have their own historians, tales of the hunt will always glorify the hunter”.

Juanita: “Snake Walkers” is such a stunning, debut novel, receiving many awards and high recognition. Will you be writing another soon, and if so can tell us a little about it?

J. Everett: My next book will be called Two Wolves. It will be a sequel to Snake Walkers. The setting will be Cleveland, Ohio in 1969 after the Glenville Riots. Anthony, the protagonist in Snake Walkers is a reporter at a small newspaper and Raymond Williams (the heir apparent as family patriarch) has just come home from the Vietnam War. There will be a number of subplots, but Raymond’s girlfriend, Myra, is missing, and although he graduated from college, it will require all of his street knowledge to find what happened, and deal with the consequences.

Juanita: Thank you for this enlightening interview J. Everett. Are there any last thoughts you’d like to share with your readers?

J. Everett: I’ve been a little overwhelmed at the response to the book. I started writing to fill a void due to, in my opinion, the inadequate representation of strong, solid black families and the positive outcomes some experienced when they resisted injustice. I guess this has resonated with a lot of people and I’m grateful. I’m only sorry that my father who passed a few years ago at 95 could not share this experience with me.

It is such a pleasure to have Joan Hecht with us today. She was awarded the “2005 Author of Year” by promoting Outstanding Writers (POW) for her book “The Journey of the Lost Boys,” which took first place in the Education category and was the only book entered to receive a perfect score by all the judges. Welcome to Reader Views Joan.

Juanita: You have written a heartfelt account of a very tragic aspect of modern history. There has been very little reported on this situation, and mostly not until recently. How did you originally hear of the Lost Boys of Sudan?

Joan: I first met the Lost Boys of Sudan in the summer of 2001, when approximately 3800 of them were relocated to our country in a refugee program established by the UNHCR and the US government. Of that first group, 85 resettled in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, and many were attending weekly services at my Church. I had no prior knowledge of the Lost Boys, but I was intrigued at the sight of them. Most were tall and noticeably thin, and their skin was the darkest shade of black imaginable. When I finally heard their story for the first time, my eyes filled with tears and I felt a deep stirring in my soul. I knew that helping them was not an option. It was a call to my heart from God and I responded. I felt compelled to be a mother to these young men who couldn’t even remember the faces of their own mothers. And in the past four and a half years, that is what I have become to many of these incredible young men who now call me “Mom” or “Mama Joan.”

Juanita: What has been your inspiration regarding the plight of the Lost Boys that eventually led you to devote your life to them?

Joan: The story of the Lost Boys, in my opinion, is like no other story ever told. It is a story about thousands of young children (approximately thirty thousand) from the South of Sudan, who became separated from their families due to civil war in their homeland. These children banded together, walking over a thousand miles across the wilds of Africa with little food or water, and no protection from the wild animals and enemy soldiers that stalked them night and day. Many perished along the way. Eventually they made their way to the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya where they remained for approximately 12-14 years. Those featured in my book ultimately resettled in the United States.

When arriving to our country they had to be taught the basics of everyday life, such as how to flush a toilet, use running water and electricity, etc… They had literally walked from the wilds of Africa and landed head on into the twenty-first century. In addition to their incredible story, I think their child like innocence and charm is what drew me to them. I initially thought I’d be assisting them for only a month or so, as they struggled to acclimate to our modern society. However, that venture has now surpassed four years and in addition to helping them through the resettlement process, I have also established a non-profit foundation to assist with their health and educational needs called Alliance for the Lost Boys of Sudan. However, I no longer consider them to be a charitable project, but instead, extended members of my family. My children call them their brothers and I call them my son’s. I truly love them.

Juanita: You have done much research into the political and historical events surrounding the civil war in Sudan. Would you give your readers a brief outline of these events and let us know why, in your opinion, the situation in Sudan has been so profoundly underreported?

Joan: The reasons for the civil war in Sudan are numerous and multi-faceted. I’m not sure that I can explain them in a few paragraphs, but I’ll try.

Basically, Sudan is a divided country, not only in geographical terms, but also in terms of the people who live there. To the North, in the dry arid regions, live the predominately Muslim population. Further south, in the more tropical regions, live the predominately black Christians and Animists (those who practice tribal beliefs).

When Sudan gained its Independence from the British in 1956, control of that government was relinquished to the Arab Muslims of the North, whom the British considered to be better educated and more suitable for the task. The Muslims sought to unite Sudan as an Islamic nation, while the southerners wished to worship God in their own way. Ultimately, a holy jihad was declared against the South unleashing one of longest running Civil Wars ever recorded. Over two million people perished as a result of this war and millions of others have become displaced with no place to call their home. Making matters worse, oil was discovered on southern land in 1978, turning what began as a war of race and religion, into one of greed as well. In January 2005, a comprehensive peace agreement was signed between the north and south bringing an end to a civil war that has spanned over two decades. However, fulfillment of the terms and promises made in that peace agreement by north has been slow in coming to fruition.

Juanita: Why has the world turned a blind eye to the suffering people of Southern Sudan?

Joan: That’s the twenty-four million-dollar question, one that I’ve often asked as well. However, the answers have varied and depend solely on the person(s) that I’m asking. Some say it’s a matter of greed on the part of countries profiting from the lucrative oil production in Southern Sudan. Others say it’s a matter of racial discrimination, stating that because the southerners are black and uneducated, that the world has deemed them unworthy of global concern. I wish I had a definitive answer for you, but unfortunately, it still eludes me. I can’t conceive of any justification for the slaughter of millions of innocent people or understand any reasoning behind why the world has simply ignored it.

Juanita: What do you feel the plight of the Lost Boys can teach the global community?

Joan: I think Bishop Nathaniel Garang from the Diocese of Bor in South Sudan explained it best when saying, “For many years, the people of Southern Sudan have been suffering and praying while the rest of the world lay sleeping. But on September 11, America was awakened…”

September 11th was a wake up call for us all. The reign of terror, that for so long has ruled in Southern Sudan, is no longer something that’s happening only in faraway continents. It has finally made its way right through our own front door. The Lost Boys attribute their survival to their devout faith in God and His constant protection over them. They often say that even though they are called the “Lost Boys of Sudan” they have never been lost from God, only from their parents. But in a country such as ours that continually strives to remove God from every aspect of our daily lives, I wonder who we will call upon for deliverance in our own time of need?

Juanita: In 2004, you founded the “Alliance for the Lost Boys of Sudan”. Please tell us more about your foundation and mission.

Joan: We are an all-volunteer 501 c-3 organization established to meet the health and educational needs of Lost Boys and their families living in the US and Africa. For more information about the organization you can visit our website at www.allianceforthelostboys.com or read our latest newsletter at http://www.allianceforthelostboys.com/newsletters/sep05.html.

Juanita: You speak actively to various groups and organizations in hopes of bringing awareness to this plight. What have been the reactions and/or comments to these efforts?

Joan: Our presentations are extremely educational and often emotional for those in attendance. The following are of few of the comments we’ve received.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida

This was the best diversity event I have ever attended. Bar none!

Nothing could have improved this presentation. This is the best one that I have ever attended here at BCBSFL

Florida Dept of Health and Refugee services

Interesting, excellent! One of those life-changing experiences. One person can really make a difference. Revitalizing!

Awesome! A very moving sentimental presentation!

Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida

I feel as if I am the one that is truly blessed to have the opportunity to meet some of these amazing young men. Even though what they have gone through was terrifying, their spirit, drive to excel, and never ending smiles were such an inspiration to me and for many other attendees.

Juanita: You also are educating the public about the Lost Girls. Why haven’t we heard much of their stories? Please tell us more.

Joan: When the children arrived at the first refugee camps in Ethiopia, the unaccompanied minor boys (Lost Boys) were separated into “boys only” area of the camps. However, according to Sudanese culture, the girls could not be left on their own and were incorporated into existing families (foster families). When the selection process began for resettlement to the US, the girls were no longer considered as orphans, (a requirement for resettlement), and were thereby left behind. There was also the issue of dowries, which is still acceptable in Sudan. Many of the foster families refused to release the girls, knowing that in doing so they would relinquish any dowry money for the young girls, who were now of marrying age. As a result, only 87 Lost Girls came to America in the summer of 2001, in comparison to the 3800 Lost Boys.

Juanita: What do you hope readers come away with after reading “The Journey of the Lost Boys”?

Joan: I hope they are touched by the courage of these young men and the magnitude of their story, while remembering that those featured in my book are the lucky ones, many more, just like them, were left behind. I hope it stirs within readers the desire to do something to help the forgotten people of Sudan, realizing that one person can make a difference and that many people working together, can truly change the world.

Any library is characterized by a commanding bookcase. Bookcases help in stashing away books and saving them from wear and tear. Bookcases generally have flat compartments for keeping publications. These bookshelves sometimes come with glass doors for favorable access to books.

Selling ebooks via eBay can be very lucrative. It’s a low overhead business that presents the opportunity to produce multiple sales after investing only in a single ebook with resale rights. The chance to buy an item of virtual inventory only once and then sell it again and again make ebook sales an awesome opportunity for a savvy eBay entrepreneur.

The great potential in the ebook market has, not surprisingly, led many sellers into the arena. Where there were once only a sparse offering of ebooks, there are now thousands of ebook auctions occurring at all hours of every day. The marketplace has grown increasingly crowded.

At one point, it was possible to generate significant earnings by selling single ebooks or ebook “packages” of virtually any sort. The days of simply bundling up some content of any sort, auctioning it and reaping healthy profits, however, is over. Not only is the marketplace more competitive, shoppers are becoming more educated and particular.

In order to be a truly successful ebook merchant on eBay, one can no longer rely on tired older titlesthe consumer base has seen them before over and over again. Instead, ebook sellers need to find new and exciting ebooks to offer at auction. Older material is simply too difficult to sell, regardless of one’s skills. Consumers have already been exposed to older titles and, seeking new information, are reluctant to invest on materials they know have been on the market for some time.

Finding the best digital information to sell takes some research and care. First, you need to determine what kind of information is likely to be in high demand. Then, you need to find an innovative new product that can satisfy that interest. New products offer potential buyers something exciting to quench their thirst for new information and can motivate them to make purchases in ways pre-existing ebooks cannot.

Discovering new ebooks requires investigation. Search ebook marketplaces thoroughly, looking for new titles that seem to meet market needs. After finding a potential new product, check thoroughly at eBay to see if others are already selling the ebook. If only a few sellers are offering the ebook, determine whether or not you could sell it better than they are. If there is already a glut of sellers, continue your search.

Alternatively, you can offer a truly unique ebook yourself. This is the best way to insure you are offering a product that will truly stand out among available informational products. You can either author the ebook yourself or hire a freelance writer to produce the material for you. This will guarantee that you have fresh material unlike that offered by any other seller. Additionally, selling products you have personally produced allows you to avoid any potential problems with eBay’s VeRO policies.

There is still a lot of room for success in the eBay ebook marketplace. Although the market has become increasingly competitive over the last few years, entrepreneurs can still produce amazing results when offering new, standout ebooks. Sellers cannot rely upon recycled older material in the growing ebook marketplace, but they can make very healthy profits with fresh material that is new to consumers.

Hot Idea #5: Give Away Part of Your eBook as an eCourse

You can divide a part of your ebook into some lessons and turn it into an ecourse (e.g. a 5-day ecourse) and put it on autoresponder.

This ecourse should provide helpful information and also promote your paid ebook. Then you can ask people to sign up to your ecourse to receive one lesson every day.

This is a very effective marketing technique because your prospects will see for themselves how much you know about that topic which makes them trust you as an expert, so they are much more likely to buy your ebook.

Busy! Busy! Busy!

What’s new? And who isn’t busy?

The majority of eBook authors are part-time writers. There are very few professional writers making their living writing non-fiction eBooks. In most cases, the eBook author is a professional with a full-time business or career to run or the author has an interest about which she/he is passionate and is using the eBook as an expression of that passion.

Finding the time to write an eBook among all the other demands made upon you is a difficult task. The process and planning required to complete the eBook authoring process can be managed but the real time you must find for actual writing requires some new attitudes, skills, and knowledge.

The A.S.K. Principle (Attitudes, Skills, Knowledge) is the foundation of all teaching and learning. It is applicable to eBook authoring and finding the time to write your book. As you reflect on the 8 suggested ways to find time to write, consider whether you will require an attitude change, learn new skills, or acquire additional knowledge in order to help you find the time to write.

Attitude changes may be as simple as giving yourself permission to take the time to write. It may require requesting the cooperation of family members to leave you some undisturbed time in a large block once a week to write.

Skills are really the application of knowledge. Simple to complex skills and everything in between can be acquired through experience or instruction. A well organized filing system for researched materials is a skill that requires little effort. Learning how to maximize the word processing software you use to write your eBook requires more effort.

Knowledge is the information we collect via experience and formal instruction. Facts and information is what we generally consider as knowledge. Applied knowledge is wisdom. Consider the knowledge factor in writing eBooks. The use of a Table of Contents is of paramount importance to authoring an eBook. Knowing that the TOC is your blueprint for your eBook frees your mind to pursue other things, including writing.

When you get a good idea taking the 2-3 minutes that it requires to write that idea down will be an invaluable habit resulting in some extraordinary writing. Don’t forget to include some key points that immediately come to mind. You can “flush out” the details of the idea later but it’s essential you write down enough information that you will be able to plug back in to the original thought pattern whenever you get back to it. Never lose a good idea. It may not return to you and a great opportunity may have been missed.

The premise that good writing can only be accomplished while using large blocks of uninterrupted writing time is false. A friend of mine claims he wrote his eBook at Interstate Highway rest stops while traveling on business. His rest breaks become his writing time and a break from driving. It took some organization on his part, but the shortness of his blocks of writing time (10 - 30 minutes at a time) wasn’t an impediment. In fact, he claimed it forced him to get right down to work and forced the ideas to flow without worrying about doing any editing.

You can prove to yourself that writing in short time frames is useful and productive. Select any three words, or have someone else select them for you. Choose a noun, an action verb and an adjective/adverb. Time yourself for 5 minutes writing non-stop, with no corrections or editing, incorporating those three words somewhere in the first few sentences of your writing. You will be amazed by how much you can write in just 5 minutes. You will be amazed at how easily just 3 “trigger” words can generate ideas. You will be amazed at the quality of your writing when the “flow” is flowing! You will prove to yourself how productive just 5 minutes of writing time can be. Try this exercise. It’ll only take 5 minutes.

6 Great Ideas for Finding Time to Write

1. Carry with you at all times key words and phrases from your Table of Contents along with supporting points you want included. Use this barebones outlines to write in the waiting rooms of doctor’s offices or while your wife/husband is shopping or the last 10 minutes of your lunch break or whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Key words and phrases is all you need to get you started writing. It’s all the inspiration you need. Don’t worry about editing. There’s plenty of time for that later. Don’t forget to record any new ideas in the margin of your writing so you don’t lose that next great gem of an idea!

Your Table of Contents flushed out into sub-topics then in to key words is all you need to get you started. You don’t have to carry a lot with you. Just carry one current chapter or topic with you at a time.

Some writers simply use a small black notepad that fits in their pocket or purse that contains the key words they are working on at the time. You can transcribe your writing later.

2. The key to productive writing is to get the ideas flowing and to go with the flow for as long as you possibly can. When the ideas are flowing, it is not the time to be using your best hand writing or the perfect typing skills. Punctuation and sentence structure takes a back seat for the time being. You want ideas on paper or on the computer monitor. Most people will be hand writing their initial notes especially if they are doing it in small snippets of time. Legibility is important so you can understand what you’ve written when you transcribe it. But beautiful handwriting is not an objective. Use as many shortcuts as possible to keep the ideas flowing. Use abbreviations for often repeated words like “t” for teacher. Use acronyms. Record the ideas not actually sentences when good ideas are coming faster than you can write. You can always come back to those ideas at another 5 minute writing interval and expand on it. The beauty of learning how to write in small chunks of time is that you always feel empowered with the progress you make at each writing session.

3. Arrange to exchange babysitting or child watching sessions with someone to allow you to write in a large block of time when it’s your best time to write. At what time of the day or day of the week are you most productive? Where do you get the most inspiration to write? How effectively do you get down to work and what kind of physical environment is most conducive to writing effectively and efficiently? Exchanging child sitting time must be mutually beneficial. Perhaps the person you exchange time with wishes to pursue a hobby or interest that makes the exchange worthwhile. Using this kind of arrangement also removes any guilt and frustration you might have in finding and using large blocks of time. Don’t feel guilty about paying a babysitter in order to write. If writing is important to you; If writing is a passion; If writing is a “re-creational” activity; then give it the importance it deserves and treat yourself to writing time.

4. Prioritizing is a key to successfully reaching your goals in life. Making writing one of your priorities and advertising that as a priority of yours will open up possibilities to write more. Others respect what you value if they value their relationship with you. The Aladdin Factor (Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen) points out that you only get in life what you ask for. If you require time to write and make a point of asking others to help you find that time, you are much more likely to be successful. Bring others on board as teammates. Be ready to give as well as receive in order that others can reach their goals. We get more by giving away more! One simple technique that is very effective is to schedule writing sessions into your planning for the week and do it on a regular basis. Habits are formed through repetition. Many successful and prolific writers say that without scheduling time to write they wouldn’t get much accomplished. You can’t always wait for the right time to write. Using key words and outlines you can begin the writing process quickly and write productively. You train yourself to write when you need to write.

5. Use your time more efficiently by having all the materials you need for writing located in one location so you can just sit down at any time and write. This includes having your materials ready for “on the go” writing. Whenever you end one writing session you should automatically prepare the catalyst material to begin the next writing session. This includes being very specific about the topic and key words to begin writing immediately upon sitting down. You will save 10 to 15 or more minutes per writing session when you prepare in advance. Take 5 minutes to get ready at the end of each writing session to prepare for the next writing session and make better use of the writing time for the next session.

Each of us has a preferred time and place to do our creative writing. Creative writing needs a catalyst as mentioned above. If you prefer to write initially with pen and paper, you can then use your non-creative time to transcribe your written notes to your word processor. Evenings watching sports on television is when I do my keyboarding. It’s a no-brainer time for me. It’s not a time for thinking. Some writers avoid the word processor altogether by having someone else type their notes or by dictating their notes and having them transcribed. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is important and using that knowledge is even more important.

6. Writing breeds more writing. The more writing becomes a habit the more it happens. Research says it takes 21 repetitions to break an old habit and establish a new one. Writing for 5-15 minutes per day for 21 consecutive days should establish writing as a regular habit. So give yourself a reasonable target of 21 repetitions to establish new writing behaviors. That’s just 3 weeks of writing. Imagine how much you will have written at the end of that time. Make a conscious effort, especially when you are first starting out writing material for your eBook, to make writing a habit. Write out your goal of 21 consecutive days of writing for anywhere from 5 - 30 minutes per day. Copy a page of a calendar and post it on the refrigerator so you can stroke off every successful day of writing. Record the total time spent writing and the total number of pages written. Share your goal with those who may be most affected by your chosen activity. Post a written copy of your goal everywhere that will remind you to stay on task. Advertise to those around you how important that this is to you. If you don’t ask for assistance you won’t get it. Have a buddy with whom you can share your progress and one who will help keep you on track if you should falter. Weight-watchers and Alcoholics Anonymous realize the importance of a team of supporters to help reach goals. You need a team as well.
