How I wrote my first book

If your like me, then you have hundreds of great book ideas. But where do you start? It's a question that i contemplated over and over. But now your in the right place to get the answers you need. First let me say, STOP thinking it's hard. Its easier than most think. The key to getting it done is to just get it done... And trust me the feeling you'll have after is next to none. I started writing a very young age. While my friends were going to parties and enjoying life, I was totally opposite compared to them. My definition of a good time was in my room writing. Poems, short stories_ it didn't really matter. As long as I was writing I was satisfied. By the age of twenty five, I had accumulated hundreds of unfinished stories. I wanted desperately to be a published author. But every time i tried to get something sent off it was either rejected or in the wrong format for submissionmeI didn't really care about what size was my fronts ect. I just wanted to write. But a long story short, I was awful when it came to submission. So I decided to self teach myself. And just when i started to get the hang of it. The typewriter was basically out style. The big name writers were using the computer to transfer files. And boy was i even more frustrated. Years and a lot of disappointment would soon consume my dreams of becoming a published writer. Until I had children. One night when I put the children in the bed,they asked if I could read them a story. Most of the books that my children have, are really long. And that day I was extremely tired. So I decided to make up a quick little story. The children loved it. It was then I decided to write the story down. Writing that story was so easy and it flowed from my pencil like running water. Every night for weeks the kids wanted me to tell the story again and again. I was so proud of myself that I just couldn't let that feeling go. I went out and brought a laptop and started researching a program that I could use to write a book. There was so many I was in shock. Now that I found something which one will lead me to being a published author. Needless to say, it wasn't the programs it was me. I had to get serious and dedicated to to become what I wanted to be;A published Author making money. I ran across a website that said the words that had been waiting for "Self publishing l". I was so excited i nearly jumped out of my seat. So here is the steps you'll need to follow to become a self publishing author. STEP1:DOWNLOAD Microsoft word.
