The PAC Method For Writers: How Prayer, Attitude & Confidence Can Lead You To A Successful Writing Career [NOOK Book]

Overview

Great things can happen with your freelance writing career. Your lifelong dream of becoming a successful freelance writer can come true. Walt Disney once said, "If you can dream it, you can do it." Disney never lost sight of his dream to create, and although he was faced with many obstacles, he never gave up. He was once told he “lacked creativity,” but went on to accomplish many great things. As I travel around the country teaching at Writer's Conferences, I meet many wonderful people. Some of those people are filled with the hope that "one day, maybe I will be published." Still others, who have found moderate success, are filled with the hope that "one day, maybe I will sell more of what I write."

When I meet new people at these conferences, I ask them if they are a "Great Writer." Most look puzzled, and say, "no, not yet." When I begin many of my presentations, I will ask the audience "how many people here today are Great Writers?" Very few, if any, hands are raised. When I tell everyone that they are all "Great Writers," they look astonished and surprised.

If you have asked God to bless you with the gift of writing, and He has generously given you that gift, it's up to you take that gift and use it to the best of your ability. Many people have prayed for the gift of writing, or prayed for ways to find writing success - and then they sit there, waiting for opportunities to knock on their door. My friends, it does not work that way!

It takes Prayer, Attitude and Confidence, or what I like to call the "PAC Method for Writers." This book will be an inspirational and motivational lesson that anyone can apply to their writing life. The stories that you will read will not only inspire you to "dream those impossible dreams," but will show you how to make those dreams come true.

There are many motivational speakers who travel around the country who are paid BIG speaking fees, because they are good at what they do. They convey their message and inspire their audience. I know, because I have listened to a few of them. However, what usually happens is the audience is "charged up" and "ready to make a difference in their own life," but when they leave and return to the "real world," sometimes their confidence level is shattered when they are faced with "real world challenges."

Over the years, I have read many stories about successful people. And way back in 1987, I was fortunate enough to be hired as a researcher for a book titled "The Executive Odyssey," by Fred Harmon. During the course of my research for that book, I read dozens of stories about people who had a dream and never lost hope. They had the right attitude and the confidence level that helped them to succeed. But I wonder if their struggles would have been made easier if they had only added "prayer" to their winning formula.

How about you? Are you ready to overcome your obstacles and see your freelance writing dreams come true? Well my friend, if you grab the winning formula: Prayer + Attitude + Confidence = Freelance Writing Success; then the sky is the limit!
