Have you said this to yourself?
Has someone else told you that you must write a book?
And your reply was: Someday I Will Write a Book!
It is easy to say isn’t it but as you know and you tell others too…someday is over the rainbow day!
On the other side of this discussion is the over-enthusiast, who says I am going to write a chapter a day and in 2 weeks I’ll have a book!
So, if you wanted to build a house you’d go out and buy some bricks and then just lay the down in a nice arrangement and you’d have a house?
Of course not. You have to prepare, organise, draw up, structure…at the very least.
Well same goes for a book.
-The process of writing a book is like preparing a dinner. From ingredients to serving dishes and so on – Brian Tracey
Many of us have great ideas for a book but don’t know how to start. Here are some pointers to get you moving.
- Ask yourself and write down, what is the heart and core of your book? The main theme.
- What are the top subjects you want to include? Write down 10 to 15 topics.
- Who wants to read it? Name them.
- What are the lessons you want to let people know about and what will they learn and gain from them?
- And what are the stories that will illustrate these fascinating facts?
-An important key to self-confidence is preparation – Arthur Ashe
And one of the most beneficial ways to be prepared to write a book of 40,000 words or more is to be part of a writing group that:
– Shows you how to find your writing voice and style.
– To tap into your imagination.
– Ditch business jargon.
– Learn to give and receive feedback …. and best of all write!
The Creative Writing Group is moving into the 5th round
