Book: Attract Love, Joy And Abundance
Q1. Hello, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
My name is Georgette Van Vliet. I live in New Jersey, USA. My parents immigrated to America from Greece after World War II. I struggled with depression, anxiety and other negative emotions for many years. Life was so difficult for me that I never even wanted to get out of bed. That is how my personal development journey began. I was very inspired by the self-help industry and immersed myself in books and workshops. I eventually became a life coach. Once I was able to overcome the negative emotions enough where I could enjoy my life and pursue my dreams, I knew I had to write books to share with people the simple, practical ways I built my confidence and self-worth on my journey to happiness. I love my life. I am married and have a son. I have a great career as a high school administrator. I write books and am invited to present workshops in many different places. I travel extensively with either my family or friends. I am always on the move!
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Attract Love, Joy And Abundance’ book?
Getting my message across clearly and simply. When I was depressed and anxious, I couldn’t read complicated material. It just made my situation worse. My goal in writing my books or presenting workshops is to have the reader feel, “I can do this!” I spend a lot of time revising to make sure I get my ideas across succinctly, so my readers can start practicing the tips immediately.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
I am an avid reader! I love Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Napoleon Hill, Jack Canfield, and Julia Cameron. Of course, I have read hundreds of books, but these authors in particular have all been extremely influential in my personal development journey to finding lasting love, joy, and success!
Q4. What’s your favorite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
America is so beautiful and there are many places where I feel like I connect to God, spirit and my intuition. I love the mountains of Catskills, New York. I love the beaches in South Hampton, New York. I love the Grand Canyon. Nature absolutely brings out the best in me and gets my creativity aligned with the messages I want to deliver to the world.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
Yes. It could take me anywhere from six months to a year. I also work full time as a high school English supervisor, so my time to write is limited to evenings and weekends. My first draft is what I call “a dump.” I just dump all my ideas into a massive long paragraph because I don’t want to forget anything. Then I go back and create paragraphs and revise so my message is clear. I spend hours and hours, days and days writing and revising my books. The minimum amount of revisions it goes though is 12 times. Then when I feel my message is clear, I reread it several times for editing purposes. It is painstaking, but I love the process. I love the feeling of
accomplishment when it is done, and I love that my practical tips and advice have helped a lot of people.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Release Negative Emotions And Love Your Life!’ book?
Each books takes approximately six months to write. I do a lot of research, and it takes a while to organize my notes, my thoughts, my personal experiences and to also share some of the challenges and successes of the people I coach. I bring all this information together in a way that is practical and approachable for everyone. One of my goals is to make sure that my tips can help every single person who reads my books or who attends my workshops.
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘Create A Life You Love After Divorce’ book to buy?
I sell my books on Amazon and my website: https://www.georgettevanvliet.com/bookstore
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the cover and the title of your books ?
Coming up with a title is tricky. It has to be catchy. I like to keep my titles short, so people can remember them, but I want to make sure there are key words in the title, so people know exactly what they are going to read. I definitely play around with different titles until something intuitively tells me – this is the one! I work with a fabulous graphic artist and together we brainstorm many options for book covers.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
A lot of my content and ideas come from the people I coach. It seems we all have universal concerns and challenges. I stay focused on finding simple solutions that are available to everyone. One of the things that bothered me when I was most depressed is that a lot of the programs that could have helped me were extremely expensive. That is why I am so focused on keeping my book and workshop prices reasonable. I don’t want anyone to ever feel disappointed because they are missing an opportunity to learn and grow.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
Yes. My favorite secret is that these practices aren’t meant to be done once. To be successful, to alleviate some of your pain, depression, anxiety, stress – or any other negative emotion – you have to commit yourself to these personal development practices. Over time, you will notice that you are a happier, more confident person. It is the best feeling, but you have to be patient with yourself as you practice these tips. If you have felt any of these negative emotions for a long time, it might take a while to change. But never give up on having your dream life!
