Why 97% of People Never Finish Their Book (And How You Can Join the 3%) 🤫

Assalamu'alaikum,

The other day, I shared about new beginnings and book aspirations. Today, I need to tell you a hard truth that might sting a little:

97% of people who start writing a book never finish it.

I know, I know. That’s a sobering statistic. But here’s what’s even more sobering- I was part of the 97%.

Two years ago, I started writing my book with all the enthusiasm in the world. I had my laptop, my outline, my perfectly organized writing schedule. I was going to write for two hours almost every morning after Fajr. I was going to be disciplined, focused, unstoppable.

By week 3, I was already making excuses.

By month 2, I was editing the same chapter for the 15th time.

By month 4, I wanted to quit.

Sound familiar?

The problem wasn’t my ability to write, my discipline, or even my book idea. The problem was that I had no roadmap, no structure, no clear guidance on what to do next.

I was drowning in overwhelm:

• Should I start with an outline or just begin writing?

• How do I organize my thoughts and research?

• What makes a good chapter structure?

• Traditional publishing or self-publishing?

• How do I even write a book proposal?

Then I discovered The Productive Muslim Book Writing Program.

Everything changed. Suddenly, I had:

• Structured guidance- clear weekly modules and digestible information that told me exactly what to focus on

• Proven frameworks- systems for research, chapter structure, and book proposals

• Specialized knowledge- Mohammed Faris’s tested approach from his two successful books

• Clear progression- From intention to completed proposal in a couple of weeks

I went from wanting to quit to completing my book proposal in around 12 weeks.

But here’s the thing- after going through the program myself and now having the incredible opportunity to facilitate it, we’ve made this third edition even stronger. We’ve taken everything that worked from the original program and added the missing piece that will make all the difference, inshAllah:

Community-powered writing.

You see, while the structured guidance solved my overwhelm problem, we realized there was still something missing. Writing is still a lonely journey, even with the best system. So we’ve designed this edition around writing together, not alone.

Now you get the proven structure PLUS:

• Weekly live sessions with facilitator and peer support

• Accountability partners that keep you moving

• BarakahFlow daily co-working sessions for focused writing time

• A private Circle community that celebrates every milestone

• Group problem-solving when you get stuck

We’ve designed a system that makes you part of the 3% who actually finish, inshAllah.
