10 Steps when thinking about writing a book - eBook

I know about what it takes to create a book. Starting with your goals in mind is critical to know how to leverage your book for your life - and what kind of investment you want to make in it. 

I’ve created this resource for those who desire to write a book. Perhaps you have an idea, a powerful experience to communicate or a vision that will help others. Maybe you already have started writing. Writing a book could be something you’ve always wanted to do. Regardless of where you are in the process of writing, I want to affirm that you have a story inside you. My goal is to offer tips I’ve learned on my journey to becoming an author. 

Is there much more to this? Yes! There is a whole process of the business of publishing but that’s a conversation for another time. For now, consider these tips not from an expert but someone who has been where you are and wants to see you shine!

She is Professor Emeritus (Design Studies department), University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of numerous books and articles, most of which address aesthetic meaning and the designed environment (e.g., Textiles: The Whole Story—Uses, Meanings, Significance; Bazaars and Fair Ladies: A History of the American Fundraising Fair).

This freewriting practice draws on intuitive, pre-verbal ways of knowing that go beyond the rational mind and lead to unexpected and even magical writing. You will learn how to approach the images and why they work differently than words. You will see intriguing images that may in themselves spark something meaningful and fresh in you.
