Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Choose a topic for your book if you don't already have one. Brainstorm. What are your interests? In what is your expertise? Write down any ideas that come to you.

Step2

Select one idea and create an outline of your proposed book.

Step3

Do research to strengthen your book's points and theme. Delve deep and go to where the information is: libraries, Internet search engines, web sites, personal interviews.

Tips & Warnings

Give yourself a firm writing schedule. Be productive when you sit down to write. Try not to dilly-dally or waste time chatting in writer's chat rooms, reading and sending e-mail, or gabbing on the phone.

on 11/22/2005 When starting to write a book, most people tend to get sidetracked and bored and don't finish it. In order to avoid this, you need to give yourself a strict schedule in which to write, and then just start to write (regardless of whether you are making mistakes, misspelling words, or you don't like it). You just keep writing. Don't stop to think about how to word the next sentence. Just keep writing.
