Description
Veteran freelance writer Nate Hendley explains how to start up or step-up your writing career. Straight-forward advice and commentary on a largely unexplored topic. Motivation is the mysterious life force that propels people to achieve and do things, be it write a book, run a marathon, or earn a million dollars in the oil patch. Motivation involves many elements, including inspiration (the sudden flood of ideas or images), goal setting and self-discipline.
