Publishers tip #2 ORGANIZING YOUR THOUGHTS The first thing is to be determined. Thats right. You have to be determined to take your thoughts from your mind to your book, whether it is in printed form or digital. You have to make it up in your mind that your thoughts are the seeds to your book, and these seeds need to be nurtured so that they can grow into your finished product; your published book. There are several tips that I can give you to organize your thoughts, but I think the best one that works for me is described in one word; NOTES. The best way to organize your thoughts is to write them down as they come to you. What I like to do to is keep a notepad on my desk, in my car, and/or by my bed AFTER I have an idea of what my book is going to be about. I create a few topics on each page that could possibly turn into a chapter in my book. As thoughts come to me regarding the contents of my book, I write them down in the respective category or topic header. I dont try to make my notes perfect. I dont go back over them to check for spelling. I simply write the thoughts down as they come to my mind. I allow my thoughts to flow freely without prejudice. There will be plenty of time to go back over my thoughts to correct any grammatical errors. Stay tuned for more tips from The Book Doulas.
