How to turn your Brilliant Idea into a
Book!
By Lee-Anne
Peters
Last week I
released my fourth publication in one year – my third book – all self-published!
I am officially hooked on book writing and have three more being written now.
There really is no stopping me! Below I will share the first steps to turning your vision into a book!
I am certainly
no expert, however I do have experience and am continuing to get experience in
this every day, and I have been inspired to help as many aspiring authors as
possible through mentoring, creating seminars and blog articles like this. I also
have a facebook page – Inspiration
as you write your book – which you may be interested in!

| Signing your own book is VERY exciting! |
Where to
start? Well, your idea will be the place where your vision is sparked. When you
have this idea write it down, get everything that comes forth out onto paper,
into your journal or on the computer.
Then you will
decide what you will do with it... is it something you want to take to the next
platform – would you like to see this vision in print?
If you would
LOVE to hold your book in your hands then there are a few things you can do to
help you not get too overwhelmed!
* Make a
chapter outline of your idea
* Follow your
idea through into the action phase
* Ask for help
or seek a mentor if you need extra encouragement
* Refer to
your favourite books to see how they lay it out, where they put things etc
I personally
like to write my books in a Microsoft word document. I usually have an ideas,
book outline file, and then I have my MASTER file where I write the actual
book.
This journey
is fun and very empowering. Remember though that many people don’t follow
through and their idea falls by the wayside. If you are serious, remain focused
and take action, you will likely enjoy reading your own book in no time!
