So, you want to write a book but don\u2019t know where to start? Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide for every budding author. First, you need an idea. But not just any idea. It should be about something you know and something interesting to readers. Next you need a plan and a story with a hero and a goal and a way to reach the goal and a way to wrap it up. Then, a good opening that will capture a reader\u2019s attention right away . . . and so on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The author, best known for The Jesus Storybook Bible<\/em><\/strong>, captures the writing process from conception through completion in a way her target audience will understand and may even want to try. The rough and tumble illustration style may even make them think, \u201cI can do better than that!\u201d So go for it, and don\u2019t forget to collect plenty of blurbs for the back cover. Sally Lloyd Jones did, and you can too!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
