A Solid Workable Plan For Writing Your Own Book

There are some terrific ideas here. Some I've used before... others I'll use in the future. If you've ever wanted to write your own book, this course will certainly help. It walks you by the hand step-by-step, from idea to finished manuscript. At this price, it's a real bargain.

Useful process

This book contains a very good process for organizing your thoughts, creating an outline, getting inspired and getting the book out of your head. The idea of "talking your book" is excellent, particularly because many readers like a conversational approach in a non-fiction narrative. The overall tone of the book was upbeat and cheerful. I appreciated that and found many of the tips useful for setting the stage to write. There were some typos, I seem to recall, which is the reason I gave it four stars. A book about writing should be a tad more carefully edited. Even still, I liked the fresh approach and recommend this book to friends for inspiration, writing strategy and its overall useful approach.
