Write – just write! Could it possibly be that simple? First, you need to find a story idea. But, perhaps, you already have one. Then you can write. How? By putting all your ideas into a logical sequence. In other words, write it down. And then there are the characters, the settings, the scenes, and so much more. Sound a little daunting? It can be for the first time of writing a book, fiction or nonfiction. But Adam Cartwright’s An Elementary Author Guide To Planning a Book is a great way to get you started. Yes, there are lots of how-to-write-a-book guides out there, but this one sticks to the bare essentials and leads you carefully through the process, one step at a time.
Adam Cartwright’s An Elementary Author Guide To Planning a Book is a great resource to help novice and experienced writers get their thoughts and ideas out of their heads, written, and ready for publication. The book begins with a concise introduction, outlining how the author has presented the writing process. As he explains, he uses a bare-bones approach, which allows the reader (would-be author) to process each step carefully without feeling overwhelmed. The book is organized into chapters, each chapter addressing the next step in the writing process. The author uses narrative paragraphs as well as bullet points and diagrams to break up each step and provide illustrations of how to work through it. This is a helpful tool for any author, published or still in the thinking-about-it frame of mind.
