3 Steps to Know & Get You Started on Your Book
Chapter One – AnitaHeidema.com Everyone has a story in them. So true……
The book and self publishing industry has taken off. Everyone wants to write a book and see it as a sign of authority and creativity. I agree. But you have to consider your WHY??? Know how and effort.
WHY?
You need to know why you want to write a book. It is a lot of work to writing and publishing one so you need to know why you are putting these efforts forward. I know as I finished my book Vitality Knocks in 2015 and became Amazon Best Seller. It was a lot of hard disciplined work. I have my why. Do you? Some want to write a book as an add on to their business. Some just want to write for themselves and maybe a biography for family generations. Start with your why and see if it is really something you want to spend your precious time on. At AnitaHeidema.com we have a program to help you if this is really something you want to do and want to take action now.

Map
So you have an idea and a why. Now it is time to MAP out your efforts. How many chapters? What is the title going to be? How many pages? Start with a shell of the story or message of the book. Then start to narrow down a bit to more detail that will bring your message clear and reach your target audience. Have your why to see if writing a book makes sense and now Map it out.
Goals
You need to now set your goals to writing your book and what works for your life. Can you set 30min in a day to writing? If you have 10 chapters with 10 months to write in what does that look like? Chapter a day of course. Set that time a space aside that you know is your time for inspiration. If you really want this you know you can make it happen.
Remember that to write the story is only a portion of the tale. There is the publishing portion that goes with this as well. Self publish? Publishing house? Marketing? Best Author status? Edit? Print? Ebook? Oh My…
