People are asking me all the time about the subject of writing a book. First you have to have a passion about the subject you have chosen to write about. What do you stay up thinking about? What experiences do you have that others want to know about? How can you help your fellow man? What do you dream about?
I have always loved to write and read. I read a lot. Sometimes I notice there is a vacancy about a subject. When I find the vacancy then something inside of me jumps, so then I write.
Write a lot. Write about things that interest you. You may be surprised at what starts to evolve. If you have already researched something put it into a book for others. Don't waste your research. Make your time matter by giving it as a gift to the world.

My mantra has always been, "Be what your looking for." This is the main reason I wrote, "The ABC's of Being A Mother". Many of us that have birthed children, didn't have a good role model. We did not have a manual called, "How to be a Mom?" Sure there were books that explained pregnancy and what to expect while you are expecting, but what about when they start to become little humans and your own humanity starts to come forward? Then what? What about when you know that you aren't doing everything right, and wish you were? What if you want to quit because you feel like you don't measure up? Read my book, "The ABC's of Being a Mother".
These were the questions I answered in my first book. It is a book of encouragement for the things you can do or are doing right already and need an, "At a Girl."
My second book was a friends idea to gather some of the articles I wrote for a local magazine. My friend talked about how hard I worked on the articles, and how they could better bless people. "Moments that Matter" was birthed.
Once you get the idea of what you are passionate about, and that you want to write about, start writing. Don't worry about the way it will all come together. I find my titles come after the book is finished. Then chapters get shifted once you have several chapters written. When the book is finished you decide who to thank, and who to dedicate it to. When looking for endorsements ask yourself who cares? Who knows me? Who can vouch for you? Contact those people and ask them? You may get some, "No's" but you may also get some, "Yes's".
Next look into self publishing. I love Palm Tree Publishers. Here is their website http://www.wendykwalters.com/publishing.html
Catch me on Monday when I continue to share on the subject of "How to write a book?"
