As you might suspect, there are no hard and fast rules about how many stories to include, what length they should be or who tells them. A book can include long and short stories, told by you or others. Some authors set up a standardized way their chapters will be structured, and place their stories at regular intervals. Others allow themselves a lot of latitude by using different chapter structures with un-standardized need for stories. We’ll take a look at two books that illustrate the difference between these styles:
When you want to write a book, figuring out where to start is one of the most problematic obstacles. When I talk to aspiring authors, this is one of the most common challenges that comes up. And it can hold back even the most motivated people.
You know writing your book will be good for you–it will attract more ideal clients to you, it will make your business more visible, it will allow you to make more money, and it will get your message out to much bigger audiences. You want to write the book and you have lots of ideas, but when you sit down to do it, you just can’t seem to get anything done.
Writing a book can be a challenge especially for new authors, they often don’t have the confidence to believe that the world will take them serious as a professional. They often procrastinate writing and therefore causing themselves even further reason for doubting their competence.
So how can a new professional create doubtless confidence and perceived competence? Easy write a book that eliminates all doubt to the reader. In fact a great story can even create a career that empowers the author with the ability to charge top dollar for their services based purely on the success of their writing.
