Do You Have a Book In You?
If you have always wanted to write a book, why not start with an ebook?
Everyone is an expert at something and other people would love to know what you have to say.
To get you started, try the following:
- make a list of all the things you know, or have experienced (even health problems can be an area of expertise and you can help others who may have the same concerns).
- choose the topic you feel most passionate about to start with
- decide on a time of day and force yourself to write for at least 5 minutes (I find that whenever I have something I don’t want to do, I make myself for just 5 minutes and usually find I can work longer than that).
- divide your topic into 10 to 12 chapters, with 4 sub-headings per chapter (this isn’t written in stone, just a guideline).
- make it your goal to write at least a chapter per day if you can.
If you can’t think of chapters, try listing all of the things you know about
your topic. You should then be able to see some common subject areas.
More tips to come and let me know how you are making out with your project.
Have a great day,

Sometimes when you are learning to use the computer, you aren’t sure what there is to know. In fact, you may not want or need to learn everything. Here is a computer skills checklist that I’ve created. You can pick and choose which of the things on the list you are interested in pursuing. And I’ve even got a printable list for you at the bottom of this post. 
This is an activity you can do with your child or grandchild. I think my grandson would like it if he would slow down long enough to try. Your creation won’t look exactly like the one in the photo, which is the strangest butterfly I’ve ever seen – in fact, it might even be a moth. Anyway, don’t let that distract you from the craft. You could even do extra research about it and then write and tell me.
