Write Your Story Today

Do you have a book hidden in your soul? Your memoirs? A children’s book? Your “how-to” guide?
Here are 10 tips to get from idea to written story.

When you think your have a story to tell but you can’t seem to figure how to get past the thoughts in your mind its so important to follow some very fundamental steps.  Of all moving from the thought to the action is necessary. 

Remember the analogy of the road map.  You have a plan to go from NY to LA, you want to go and you have purchased a road map.  Now, does that mean you are done?  Of course not, we know that to actually go from NY to LA you have to get in the car, turn it on, put gas in it and get on the road.

Once on the road, you follow your road map. So, in order to move from the idea of writing a book to actually writing a book you can follow these steps, but you actually have to take out paper and put ink on that page!  Utilize the following list:

  • Find a quiet place
  • Write from the heart
  • Start writing without worrying about structure, just write your thoughts
  • Draft pictures of the vision of your ideal book
  • Type and Edit later, after you feel you are finished with your writing
  • Don’t ask anyone’s advice, these are your thoughts, not their thoughts
  • Don’t be discouraged if your thoughts look disorganized at first, have faith and visualize the results you want
  • Give you’re writing the time and focus you need to get the job done. It’s better than catching up on American Idol!
  • Find the right self-publishing option
  • Let’s publish!
