CHOICE A	CHOICE B
You are stuck. You scratch the same darn line five times. You throw the paper in the trash can. You are foaming at the mouth. You get up and walk in circles around the room. What are you doing? Chasing your own tail? You go get coffee. The phone rings. It's your sister. You start talking with her. It gets complicated. You don't know how to cut off the conversation. After all, you need some distraction from the darn chapter. There goes the chapter.	You are stuck. You scratch the same darn line five times. You throw the paper in the trash can. You send a help! email to Maria Mar. You include the passage and tell her what's happening. You go get coffee. The phone rings, but you don't pick it up because Maria has drilled you that writing time is Sacred Time. You go back to your desk and check your email. Maria has replied! You follow her advise. There flows the chapter!
What is your choice? Do you make Choice B? Then Maria Mar is your Book Mentor!

	Every book, whether it is non-fiction or fiction, should be considered creative writing. The language and style of your book should convey your meaning clearly and vibrantly.
	Beginning writers often believe that the most important element of their book is the information they are sharing. That is simply not true. While your knowledge is essential, the single most powerful element in your book is your voice. Your voice is your presence in the book.
	Writing without an Authentic Voice is boring and will be quickly put aside by you, as well as by any reader. It's like listening to a telephone recording instead of talking to a live person. Maria Mar will make sure that your book carries your Authentic Voice and that it creates an intimate, powerful connection with your readers.
	Your book's style conveys your personality. You don't dress with a summer top and winter boots. Do you? When you write you need to keep your writing within the style you chose. Many beginning writers switch their point of view, style and voice erratically, confusing and distracting the reader, who stops reading. You don't want to spend time and money in a book that will be put aside before the reader finishes the first chapter.

As a Book Mentoring Coach, Maria will give you creative exercises, templates, guidance questions and loving attention to bring forth the heart of your book, dig up your Authentic Voice and write a book with a message that will endure in the hearts of the readers.

You are writing a book about justice. This chapter is about the powerful influence of law enforcement on the early incarceration of youth.

You've send the chapter to Maria Mar and now you click on the link to hear her review. Your hands are trembling as you click. Will she like it? Was it any good?

"Thank you for sharing this knowledge with me. It is powerful and little known. I believe that this knowledge must reach every single youth, parent and teacher, and I would also put it in the hands of judges and law enforcers.

"You need to ask yourself three key questions.

'Who am I writing for? For specialists? What kind of specialists? For the people? What people?
What do I want them to do with this message? Do I want them to read the information and then keep the book in a dusty shelf, for reference? Or do I want them to assimilate the knowledge of what is happening and how it's affecting their lives? Do I want them to act?'
What kind of expert do I want this book to present me as? What is my unique gift as an expert?

"If all you want is to pass on information, with no desire for people to change or take action, if you want this book only in the hands of specialists, and if you want to be seen as an analyst, then keep the voice you are using right now.

"But if you want to move people into changing this situation, if your audience are families, youths and specialists who care, and if you are an advocate, a caring professional who wants to incite change, then you need to change that voice. More to the point. You need to find YOUR voice.

"I want you to tell me, or tell your best friend (as an exercise) why you are writing this book. I want you to be as passionate as you can, to open your heart and reveal why you care. Why it's personal. Why you are willing to dedicate your life to saying this. I want you to move me to action by words that are coming from your heart.

"I also want you to tell me at least three stories that touch my heart, that make it personal for me. I want to recognize my nephew, my neighbor, my son in those stories.

"I include via email a writing exercise to help you do just that.

Good luck."

(Based on a real case.)

Your are writing your book. Your computer is on and a file called "Writing Journal" is open.

You are facing a problem. This section of the book is not coming out. You keep getting distracted.

Instead of pulling your hair out or closing your book binder, you turn to the computer and start typing everything that is happening and what you are feeling. You look at the Personal History Email Template, and get more juiced up as you answer a couple of questions there.

Once you've vent out your frustration and dig out all you can think may be interfering, you copy and paste your journal entry into the email, attach a copy of the passage and click, sending it to your Book Mentor.

Now you can relax. You know that either of two things will happen.

If your next private monthly coaching session is less than 7 days away, your Book Mentor will read the email and be prepared to help you with this and other passages.
If your next coaching session is far away, your Book Mentor will send you email questions and writing exercises to help with the problem.

Imagine. You've written this chapter three times, and every time you end up tearing the papers and dumping them in the wastebasket. You don't know whether to laugh or cry.

No matter. Your next session is in six days, so you still have time to send the darn thing to Maria. You add an email note:

"I've thrown this chapter in the waste basket three times. Is there anything worth saving? Why am I stuck?"

The session starts up and Maria Mar tells you:

You don't like it because it's offering solutions at a theoretical level. It sounds good and intellectually I know it's true, but it's not getting to me. Why? There are two important things missing:

It needs to touch me emotionally, so that I engage my Emotional Intelligence and feel motivated. At this point, I will be able to integrate the information into my psyche.
It needs an example from daily life that I can relate to.

The rest of the session is spent helping you to come up with these two elements in a way that you can use it for other chapters.
