I have been trying to write my first book for about a year now. I have also rewritten, re-plotted, started over, quit etc. etc. about 100 times!When I saw this book I knew I needed to read it.What I loved about this book:1. Instead of telling you "just write" the author actually gives you solid advice on HOW to "just write". How to write a three sentence outline (thesis?) and expand on it. Decide to write for five minutes a day or five hours a day. Just commit!2. I liked how he compared and went over in great detail the two main options available to authors. Traditional Publishing or Self Publishing. I definitely agree that they both have their advantages and disadvantages.I don't agree with authors who treat one or the other with disdain. Everyone is different, you know?3. The author gave great advice on how to come up with a great story and make sure that all the necessary elements are included.What I didn't like about this book:1. Still trying to come up with something...Lastly, the authors personal story is amazing. Not only was he able to turn his life around but he continues to help countless others.Highly recommend!
