FROM AN IDEA TO YOUR FINISHED STORY

Take an Interactive Writing Workbook that takes you, the writer, on a fantastic journey from an idea… to your Finished Story. You will be accompanied on your journey by Three Writing Guides: a writer, editor and publisher. These wise guides will alert you to important information, provide you with writing tips and generally steer you in the right writing direction. Your journey begins at the beginning; getting organized and ready to write. You will then proceed to learning how to get your story down on paper. You’ll find tips and instructional forms to helping you through the pit falls and detours and to keep you on the right road to a finished story. Once you have a finished story you’ll learn about editing, revising and preparing for the next process; marketing. You’ll receive tips on different ways to market your book and ideas for what to do next.

If you want to finally: write that book, finish that story, take that manuscript out of the drawer and see your story in print. This book can help you be wowed by your writing abilities

“Why do you want to write?”

The following list was compiled from a questionnaire used in a writer’s workshop that asked writers of various ages, occupations and lifestyles: Their answers may help you gain more insight into your own reasons for writing.

I Want To Write Because:

--- I have a passion for reading good literature and writing gives me an opportunity to see my ideas come alive on the page

--- I find writing helps me to express my inner feelings about life and the world around me

--- I have a story I feel needs to be told and I am strongly motivated to write

--- Writing is my life. I find it therapeutic

--- I believe everyone has a story to tell and I’d like to write my story

--- I would like to become a published author. Not so much for fame or fortune (though that would be nice), but to share my knowledge and experiences with others

--- I want to become a published author for the money and fame

--- Writing is a creative activity I enjoy

--- Writing well is an asset in my career. Companies today are looking for applicants that have good communication skills. Writing skills top the list

Other Writers Add their Thoughts:

--- Barbara, Bardonia, N.Y. "I just need to write . It's a part of me."

--- Mary, San Bernadino Ca. "I don't know. I just write."

--- Paul, Las Vegas " Writing gives me a way to do something more with my business and feel productive at the same time."

--- Ben, E. Wenatchee, Wa. " I heard a story that cried out to be told."

--- Marjorie, Newark, N.J., "Writing is therapeutic. I can write what I feel, even when I can't say it."

--- Becky, Toronto, Ca. "When I write I feel free."

--- Evan, New York, N.Y. " Get all kinds of weird thoughts and i turn them into really neat stories."

--- Robert, Nyack, N.Y. "Stories express my inner needs. When someone reads them, they know me better."

--- Mary, San Jose , Ca. "I want to write because lovely imaginings flit past me during the day. I want to capture them and share some of them. Plus, it's nice to work at something that allows me creativity, quirks, and fun. "

--- Mary, St. Louis, Mo "I have a passion for reading good literature (and a good bit of schlock lit. too) and writing gives me an opportunity to see my ideas come alive on the page. (This is more of a goal as most of my writing so far has been self-expressive. I want to write more, but have never been able to express my ideas clearly, to make the words clearly convey what I mean. Never got to trying to create a character.) I find writing helps me to express my inner feelings about life and the world around me. Writing is a creative activity I enjoy.
