Create Your First Book: Part 2

The process that leads to the prize.

Last week we ended with you copying your e-zine articles into a word processor document. Now you're going to turn that collection of articles into a book.

Have you ever seen those drawing classes where the instructor begins by having you draw a circle, and then, one by one, has you add additional shapes to the drawing, and by the time you're done you are amazed at the piece of art work you have created? That's what is going to happen here for you in the next few weeks.

You are going to begin with your e-zine articles, and end with your own full blown book. I think you'll find it really exciting.

I hope you will forward these articles to friends and business associates, because these are very self-empowering articles that lead you to one of the most valuable personal communication skills that exist--that ability to write a powerful book.

Let's go back for a moment to your articles on that word processor document.

An alternate method is to put your articles on a Web page and turn it into a PDF. If you have a Web designing program with which you are familiar and comfortable, I suggest this route.
