...first you have to start.
This is on my bucket list - publishing a book - and I want it to be on the short list.
I met up with an author acquaintance of mine at a holiday party, and she gave me simple, practical advise: keep a file, and whenever you think of something (a quote, a moment, an idea) related to your book topic, just jot it down and put it in the file.
Brilliant. Break it down into small bits. I can do this. And I will start immediately.
I am going to write a book this coming year. At least the skeleton of a book that I can build on and turn into something I'm proud of. I've always felt like an author, and I every time I wander the shelves of a bookstore I think, "Man, these guys all just decided to write books! They didn't say, oh, there are so many books already...They knew the world needed more books!" My voice will be among them.
