The Miracle Morning for Writers: How to Build a Writing Ritual That Increases Your Impact and Your Income (Before 8AM) Paperback – May 25, 2016

This book has an incredible amount of information in it! I loved the step by step process that Steve Scott takes us through to make writing a solid part of everyday life and do it right. There are so many wonderful nuggets, ideas, and resources for the wannabe writer as well as the seasoned author. You'll want to read this book again and keep a notebook handy to jot down your own To-Do list to take those steps needed to reach the next level in your writing life.I've read other books by Steve Scott and as always, this one has a great voice, easy to read. He makes you feel like you're sitting in the room chatting with him and he's offering his tried and true secrets to success. The Miracle Morning isn't a new concept to me as I've been practicing my own daily devotionals for many years, but I LOVE the idea behind the S.A.V.E.R.S. Reading this book has helped me to kick my own mornings up a notch, to take everything I was already doing and do it better, with more focus, intent, and purpose. I'm really excited to continue with these principles. Obviously this is a must-read for anyone thinking about writing a book, but I'd also recommend this to anyone who enjoys stretching the boundaries of what they can achieve. Since at least 80% of people say they want to write a book, this would be a safe gift to give to just about anybody. :)

Let me start off by saying that I read the original The Miracle Morning and it changed my life for the better! I went from being a night owl to a 5am morning riser doing a wonderful morning routine which increased happiness and productivity in my life. I had a dream 15 years ago of being an author and publishing my writing, but I was never consistent with my writing habits, which were just a fun hobby.The Miracle Morning for Writers builds upon The Miracle Morning concepts and applies them to writers, then teaches you how to write and publish your novel. The tips in this book (for both fiction and non-fiction writers) were invaluable to help me learn better writing habits as I struggled with consistency. I enjoyed the writer's affirmations, of which I added to my affirmations in my Miracle Morning. The step by step how-to chapters on how to go from research to published novel are essential for anyone looking to become a profitable author. The tips about Evernote were great! I'm going to be referring back to this book again and again as I work on publishing my first book. If you are looking for a great place to start learning how to be a successful author, or you just want to find a way to sell more of the books you currently publish, I would highly recommend picking up this book!

The author provides practical, easy to follow instructions on how to develop a regular writing routine. He addresses several common problems that writers face, including finding time to write.

I think Steve Scott wrote most of this book. He's alright. I appreciated the many links included and actionable content.But, there's something undeniably palpable about the passion Hal brings to his books. More stories please!I think that would have improved the text, more stories not just lessons and strategies. This book was almost textbook style, except for Hal's portion, it was painful to read. I finished it with a "Thank God that's over." feeling.I don't want to deter others from getting this book by my honest evaluation that this book was technical manual style. I just want to encourage other potential readers to skim, scan, and put together your game plan because it's not an easy or enjoyable read.

This was a good book to read to help you develop a writing habit, but it could be better. The author solely focuses on writing books, but there are writers who aren’t trying to write a book. He, also, excludes entires genres, such as poetry. He only glosses over freelance writing, especially for beginners, & only discusses writer platforms that provide advice or how-to’s. It does stress the importance of making writing a daily habit & how to consistently create content. In all, the book was just ok.

Hal Elrod is an exceptional entrepreneur and leader in the field of writing. I think how he put this book together speaks volumes about his big goals. He could have just written it himself, but instead he teamed up with other leaders in the field (as he has for other books in this series) and produced a truly great tool for writers.The book follows the same logical trajectory as does his mainstream Miracle Morning book. Around chapter 4 is when the more writing-targeted material begins. I found this book to be incredibly motivating, even if all the information provided wasn't exactly novel. But that is the point - most of us have an idea of what we should be doing, and don't - or we try to find shortcuts around doing the hard work. Hal does not provide any quick fixes, which is one reason why I found this book to be so helpful. If you are willing to put in the work - daily, consistently, passionately, - then you will eventually reap what you sow.Hal forces readers to focus on the only thing they can control - their habits and attitude. When we focus on the results is when we lose track of our why and fall into dangerous cycles of thinking. Writers must write - and Hal helps us learn how to do that to the best of our capabilities.

Affordable, helpful, filled with information that will have you finishing your book in no time and making time with God too

J'avais déjà lu The Miracle Morning et, en tant qu'écrivain, je m'étais dit que celui-ci pourrait m'apporter un complément d'informations utiles, ce qui fut le cas, à peu de choses près.La partie "MM" demeure essentiellement la même par rapport au premier ouvrage et ne s'intègre pas vraiment de manière fluide à la partie "conseils d'écriture". De plus, cette dernière s'adresse avant tout aux débutants et se concentre sur le marché du livre anglo-saxon, ce qui n'apporte pas grand-chose quand on est francophone, sinon satisfaire sa curiosité sur la manière dont les choses fonctionnent ailleurs. Malgré tout, j'ai découvert un conseil particulièrement utile, jamais lu ailleurs, pour ceux qui, comme moi, ont (avaient) tendance à passer énormément de temps à écrire le meilleur premier jet possible en travaillant beaucoup ses phrases et en s'arrêtant en cours d'écriture pour faire des recherches sur le Web.En substance, l'auteur du livre recommande d'écrire un premier jet d'une traite et de garder retravail et recherches pour le deuxième jet, sans culpabiliser et en rappelant que personne d'autre que nous ne verra cet "horrible" premier jet, plein de répétitions, de tournures bancales et de XXX à la place des prénoms de personnages à trouver, car ce qui compte avant tout dans cette phase, c'est la création pure. Ça n'a pas été facile à mettre en pratique, mais depuis que c'est le cas et, couplé avec les principes du MM, j'écris beaucoup plus rapidement et facilement.Si vous écrivez et souhaitez donc découvrir The Miracle Morning, cette lecture en vaut la peine.

Tis gonna be so useful thanks so much for sharing your words and inspiration.Really great read.Feeling so motivated!

I love this book. I want to become an author and I find this book useful for me. Most importantly language and message is written in so simple language that you don't loose your focus while reading this book. Steve Scott is really a fantastic author. His ideas and suggestions are useful for an author aspirant.

Wer nicht als Schreiberling tätig sein will, benötigt nicht gerade diese Spezialausgabe, aber Miracle Morning ist eine Methode, die jedermann ausprobieren sollte, wenn er sich gundlegend verändern will. Viele sagen ähnliches, aber nur der Gesamtmix machts. Da der Mensch von Natur aus immer länger schläft und immer später aufsteht, wenn er keine Orientierung wie Sonnenaufgang oder Wecker hat, ist die Tendenz eben zum Langschläfer zu werden und der sollte man entgegewirken, indem man sich Frühaufstehen zur Gewohnheit macht. Aber: Spaß gewinnt man daran nur, wenn man die Morgenstunde für sich nutzt, nicht wenn man sich rausquält und in die Tretmühle begibt. Sechs Punkte, die man zur Not auch mal in sechs Minuten abhaken kann - Meditation oder Gebet, Affirmation, Vision, Sport, Lesen und Schreiben. Für alles ein paar Minuten und man startet besser in den Tag. The Morning Miracle hilft, den Ablauf zur Routine zu machen. Für Autoren kommt hier noch nützliches für die Schreibroutine hinzu, das ich gern übernommen habe.

It has very useful advice that can be applied. If you are beginning in the craft of writing or you are alredy a writer that is struggling, this book is going to help you a lot.
