Ernest Hemingway
Working on editing my book for the ??? time...it is all good. I learned so much from writing it and I am sure some could learn from reading it. I watched this free video seminar on book publishing from Hay House the other day ( I can not link it). In the video Dr. Deepak Chopra spoke about what was needed for a successful book. Loosely paraphrased, this is the information he offered:
- You need to be passionate about what you are writing (Check!)
- You need to know your stuff (Check!)
- You need to have a unique way of expressing that information (Check!)
- You need to have relatable stories within it (Check!)
- You need to know that every good story is a love story of some kind ( not a romance novel but a "Love" story.( (Check! That works for me because there is Love in my title.)
- You need to follow a story arc: a problem that needs to be solved, barriers/conflict and resolution.(Check!)
It is all good!
