A book can spend years as a collection of notes, half-written chapters and ideas you promise yourself you’ll return to. Sometimes the difficulty is finding time, but sometimes the time is there and getting started still feels surprisingly hard.

Write That Book is a self-hypnosis recording from Uncommon Knowledge, available through Hypnosis Downloads. It focuses on the motivation and commitment involved in writing a book, particularly when hesitation or procrastination keeps interrupting your progress.

When this recording might suit you

This recording may be worth considering if you have a writing project in mind but struggle to settle into the work. Perhaps you keep revisiting your outline, lose momentum after an enthusiastic start, or feel daunted whenever you think about the whole manuscript.

Its focus is the psychological side of getting on with your writing. It does not provide lessons in plotting, research, editing or publishing, so your choice depends on where you feel stuck.

Giving your writing somewhere to go

Alongside listening, a modest writing commitment can give you something practical to work towards. That might mean returning to one unfinished scene or setting aside a regular slot for your manuscript. The aim is to make the next piece of work clear enough that you can begin without having to solve the entire book first.

There is no promise that a recording will finish your manuscript for you. It offers a way to explore the motivation behind the writing, while the words and the decisions remain yours.
