Your Book Gone Wild!
Putting the Power of YOUR Story Into a Non-Fiction Book

Have you wondered what will make your book go viral and spread
like the common cold? My book writing tip today may help. Before
you know it your book could be spreading like wildfire through a
dry windy prairie field.

You may remember a couple of tips ago, I encouraged you to put
stories into your non fiction book manuscript. To recap what we
established, your book writing coach encouraged you that weaving
general (but related stories) into your book would create a
stronger connection with your readers. Stories would help you
create compelling chapters. We all know compelling chapters get
read and boring ones don't. Additionally, stories would help
make your book a journey. People love a good journey; so your
book would get referred even more.

could get my hands on. Eventually, I began writing my thoughts
down in journals, stores, poetry and more.

As I grew older, I gained a passion to write. But I didn't
think I could make a living with my writing; I put it aside for
many years. I got a college degree in Business Administration
and minored in accounting and English. Eventually, I worked in
corporate bank accounting. Yes, I was counting beans and other
people's beans at that. Don't get me wrong; I loved accounting
and still do. But it did not excite me like writing and
eventually publishing. It didn't make me say, ahhh this is what
I was born to do. Writing does that for me... Read Full Blog
