Written by Jim Green


There is an age-old adage that is as true today as when it was first mooted.

"Everyone has at least one good book in them"

The problem is that most people never get around to writing it because they hamper progress by cluttering their thoughts with mental blocks.

Little do they appreciate that there already is a bestseller lying dormant inrepparttar mind - nor do they know how to access it.

Could you extractrepparttar 128781 book lurking in your mind?

Could you produce a niche carving bestseller in your spare time and then proceed to do it over again, time after time?

With professional guidance you could.

SO YOU'VE NEVER EVER WRITTEN ANYTHING CREATIVE?

You have, you know, and you've been doing it all of your life.

When you were sitting exams at school, you were engaging inrepparttar 128783 creative writing process, addressing questions and providing answers with well reasoned argument.

When you sit down to compose a letter, produce a thesis or develop a business proposal, you are inrepparttar 128784 creative mode.

All of these exercises have something common: they are works of non-fiction, and so it follows thatrepparttar 128785 creation of a full-length book in that genre is any and all of these activities writ large.

SO YOU'VE TRIED AND TRIED AGAIN WITHOUT SUCCESS?

Before You Begin: Pointers for New Writers

Written by Theresa V. Wilson, M.Ed.


Most writers are readers first. Whether historical, research, romantic mystery or spiritual focus. Many well versed writers have either read extensively or have been challenged by a variety of in depth life changing experiences. Remember, your best writing already is “in” you.

Let’s talk about how to put those thoughts on paper. First, discover what inspires you:

Are You A Romantic? We all have that special someone—first love, new love, unforgettable moments or situations that strengthened a love relationship. Most important here is to write straight fromrepparttar heart, making each scene as real forrepparttar 128778 reader as it was for you.

Do You Love To Travel? Don’t consider taking that next trip without a pad, pen or tape recorder. You don’t have to writerepparttar 128779 perfect copy fromrepparttar 128780 hotel or cruise ship, but become more aware of your surroundings. Take an “inside perspective” ofrepparttar 128781 décor and service, noterepparttar 128782 ambience, and be prepared to describe your experience. There are many magazines on and off line that would appreciate a first hand description of popular vacation “hot spot” or cruise packages. It’s a great way to “breakrepparttar 128783 ice” and achieve your first byline.

Are You In To Healthy Eating? Canvas health magazines, family journals and review food commentary pages of local newspapers. Your approach might include writing an overview ofrepparttar 128784 variety of uses of a particular health related food, like Tofu. You might include a tasty recipe idea. You might even submit a picture ofrepparttar 128785 final “tasty dish” with your article. If attractive enough you not only have a first article, but you’ve also become a self -made photographer.
