To Overcome Resistance, Write a Book with a Strong Framework & Clear Audience

Aug 23, 2023 | lauraschaeferwriter.com | Laura Schaefer

As an experienced book collaborator, one of my main jobs supporting my clients is helping them overcome a feeling of overwhelm. Overwhelm is the most common problem faced by new authors. Why? Because those who've never written a book before are inclined to over-do it. To put absolutely everything they have into the project. This is a fine and generous impulse...it is a BOOK after all. The problem is that this mindset makes the actual writing of the thing pretty scary.
Why 6 Months Post-Retirement Is the Perfect Time to Start Your Book

Aug 21, 2023 | lauraschaeferwriter.com | Laura Schaefer

It is so much easier to consume than produce. The irony, of course, is that our overall wellbeing comes from a mixture of doing both. Every human being is a creator in their own way. If you've tipped the balance too much in the consuming direction, it might be helpful to consider ways to make the production side of the equation a bigger part of your days. Here's what I mean:I read an essay from a FIRE practitioner last week who managed to retire at a young age.

IntroductionAfter decades of research, the detailed origin of injuries to joints, muscles, or connective tissue due to physical activity in sports or everyday life seems to be insufficiently clarified—especially when there is no overwhelming external impact to the body by another person or object. It was suggested that non-contact injuries occur when muscles try to slow down movements caused by inertial forces, which are often enhanced by additional gravitational effects [1,2,3,4].

Jun 19, 2023 | nature.com | Sebastian Zieba |Laura Kreidberg |Elsa Ducrot |Laura Schaefer |Renyu Hu |Eric Agol | +2 more

AbstractSeven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar System1. Thanks to the recent launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), possible atmospheric constituents such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are now detectable2,3. Recent JWST observations of the innermost planet TRAPPIST-1 b showed that it is most probably a bare rock without any CO2 in its atmosphere4.
Does It Matter Where Your Ghostwriter Lives?

May 27, 2023 | lauraschaeferwriter.com | Laura Schaefer

One thing I've come to believe over the last five years is that my family's move from Madison, Wisconsin to Windermere, Florida in 2015 (a suburb of Orlando more or less directly north of Walt Disney World) helped my writing career. Why? Because after we moved, I met a lot of people here in Central Florida who wanted me to help them write their books. (Yay!)Then, of course, the pandemic came along and moved every meeting online.

Updated: Mar 3My standard fee for a full-length six-month book ghostwriting agreement starts at $75,000. It's an investment on the part of my author clients, and to them it is worth every penny. My elite clients enjoy receiving writing collaboration and support from a skilled professional who is calm, focused, and well-organized. Because I only work on one or two concierge-level projects at a time, I am able to devote the bulk of my brain power to these books.
