Synopsis
Are ideas continually streaming through your mind that you just have to capture on paper? Do they sometimes visit you in the middle of the night, during a long drive in your car, when you're most relaxed, or even at the most inconvenient of times? If any of the above is true, you were born to write, and it is for persons such as you that You Were Born to Write was written. This life-changing book shows you how to tap in, at will, to that infinite source of inspiration and expression, and to release easily, fluently, and enjoyably whatever it is within you that seeks to be brought to life on paper. "My husband couldn't believe that within one week of finishing the Intensive Writer's Retreat with Tom Bird that I had finished my first book," says Debbie Kowalsky of Hollywood, Florida. You Were Born to Write, which is actually two books in one, shows you how to accomplish results such as these for yourself. In the first portion of the book, you will learn how your life and educational experiences have actually kept you from the natural act of expressing yourself meaningfully, passionately and with a purpose through your writing. As well, this portion of You Were Born to Write, outlines seventeen life-changing Writing Principles, to show you how to remove these inappropriate influences and then how to return to that most natural of all states. Then in the second and last portion of You Were Born to Write, you will be shown how to utilize what you have learned to write anything you want in record time and with the degree of depth, passion, and purpose that, before the reading of this book, you could have only dreamt of. Your achievements will include the writing of a book within thirty days or less. Like so many of us, Tom Bird felt drawn to write. However, even after employing the orthodox methods for writing as well as for getting published, he was met with mostly frustration and rejection. After realizing that the reason for his failure lay not with a lack of talent, commitment, or desire on his end, Tom decided to design his own strategy for releasing the author within himself and for getting his writing into print. This design eventually became known as The Tom Bird Method T. After employing his methods, Tom met with almost instant success, culminating in the sale of his first book at the age of twenty-six. Since then, Tom has published fifteen other books and toured the country, making more than over 3,000 lectures at over 100 different college and university campuses, sharing his methods with as many aspiring writers as possible. At present, Tom continues to teach and lecture, and lives in Sedona, Arizona, with Tammy Kelley, their daughter Skyla, and their two dogs, five cats, and two birds.
