All those pages. All those words.<\/p>\n<p>But no one writes a book in one day. It takes time because words across the page are a sequential step-by-step affair.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHow do you eat an elephant?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOne bite at a time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A little bit of writing every day goes a long way\u2026<br \/>\nThis seems so obvious, but is often overlooked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let me show you what I mean&#8230; Some examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I\u2019m <strong>editing<\/strong> my <a href=\"http:\/\/author.bethbarany.com\/coming-soon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science fiction mystery novel<\/a>\u00a0a few pages a day during the week. At the end of two weeks, I have 30 pages edited to turn in to my critique group. Then after I receive their feedback, I take a few days to integrate their changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">My client K <strong>writes<\/strong> about 500 words every day while she works full-time job. By the end of the week, she has met her weekly goal of 2000 words of her first draft. In a few months, she\u2019s completed her first draft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">My student J is <strong>brainstorming<\/strong> his novel using the <a href=\"http:\/\/school.bethbarany.com\/courses\/enrolled\/30daywc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plan Your Novel course curriculum<\/a>. Due to his busy schedule, working and being a dad, and playing at his intensive hobby of capoeira, he\u2019s already halfway through the planning of his novel and knows so much more about his story and his characters than he did when he started, i.e., which was nothing. Soon he\u2019ll have his book planned out and can start the day-by-day work of writing his first draft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When I\u2019m focused on book <strong>marketing<\/strong>, I send out a few book review requests each day. Over the following weeks and months, I get reviews posted on the online vendors, on Goodreads, and on reviewers&#8217; sites. More reviews posted means more social proof and the chance that more readers will be reached. The more requests I send out, the more free books I send out, the more reviews I can get. And the more potential sales my books can make.<\/p>\n<h2>In writing, one word follows another.<\/h2>\n<p>In learning and in creating, content accumulates. In writing, one word follows another. One page follows another. Eventually you\u2019ll have a book.<\/p>\n<p>Seems so obvious. Yet, if you let yourself get discouraged and stop before you\u2019re done, often with thoughts of \u201cIt\u2019s not good enough; I\u2019m not good enough; I have no idea where I\u2019m going; I have no idea what I\u2019m doing,\u201d then you\u2019ll never experience the law of compound effects.<\/p>\n<p>A cake half-baked; a meal half-cooked; a race half-run\u2026 those all seem weird in real life, and few of us do such things. It\u2019s the same with our creative work.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHow do you finish writing a book?&#8221;<br \/>\n\u201cOne word at a time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WFZ_\u201cHow-do-you-eat-an-elephant_\u201d\u201cOne-bite-at-a-time.\u201d.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19172 size-medium\" title=\"Elephant: \u201cHow do you eat an elephant?\u201d \u201cOne bite at a time.\u201d Blank book: \u201cHow do you finish writing a book?&quot; \u201cOne word at a time.\u201d\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WFZ_\u201cHow-do-you-eat-an-elephant_\u201d\u201cOne-bite-at-a-time.\u201d-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"One Word At A Time: The Law of Compound Effects by Beth Barany\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WFZ_\u201cHow-do-you-eat-an-elephant_\u201d\u201cOne-bite-at-a-time.\u201d-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WFZ_\u201cHow-do-you-eat-an-elephant_\u201d\u201cOne-bite-at-a-time.\u201d-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WFZ_\u201cHow-do-you-eat-an-elephant_\u201d\u201cOne-bite-at-a-time.\u201d-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/WFZ_\u201cHow-do-you-eat-an-elephant_\u201d\u201cOne-bite-at-a-time.\u201d.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>YOUR TURN<\/h2>\n<p><strong>How can you use the law of compound effect in your life and take advantage of it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n<p>Post in comments how you use or will use the law of compound effects.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT BETH BARANY<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BETH_image_400px_01-edit.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18798\" title=\"Beth Barany, Creativity Coach for Writers\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BETH_image_400px_01-edit-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Beth Barany, Creativity Coach for Writers\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BETH_image_400px_01-edit-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BETH_image_400px_01-edit-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BETH_image_400px_01-edit-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BETH_image_400px_01-edit.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Hi!
