A Writer’s GMC

GMC FOR AUTHORS

  Like successful books, successful writers have

Goals, Motivation, and Conflict.

Think about it. Writers are no different from the characters we set up in stories. An author wants to write the best book possible and be published. Goal.

            It’s proven that individuals with goals are significantly more successful than those without. Think of your career as a book. Do you want to read or write about a character that wanders around a story doing nothing?  Or do you want characters who have purpose, a goal?

An author also has to take steps and make plans in order to be successful. Ding, ding, ding. GOAL.
