Written by a bestselling author, this pragmatic volume reveals the bite size strategies that helped create 47 titles in both fiction and non-fiction; strategies that are as timeless as they are tried and tested by a succession of published authors down the ages. Nothing ever happens unless you make it happen and everything that does happen and materialize starts first as a thought in the mind. You will have many thoughts as you prepare to start writing your book and among these thoughts will be stumbling blocks you will require to eradicate before you get underway. Most of the skills you need you already possess and the remainder you will pick up effortlessly as you travel through the pages of this practical manual, which constitutes a much more fulsome and updated adaptation of the numerous digital home study programs the author devised over the years for writers aspiring to become published authors. These original versions have been downloaded hundreds of times and assisted many students to manifest their creative writing ambitions. Perhaps right now you consider this to be too steep a curve to negotiate but by the time you finish studying this tome you will realise that you can and will (if you put your mind to it) write your own book, become a published writer, and a bestselling author.
