Writing and Publishing eBooks Made Easy #02 - The Creative Writing Process
The creative writing process
Really, you don't have to go for the Pulitzer Prize, if you start writing. On the contrary!
Try to write as you speak. Be clear, and come right to the point when you make a statement.
Remember, it's not about HOW you write, it's about WHAT you have to say.
People love to read clear lines, and if you use lots of white space between your paragraphs, you'll keep the readers interested.
Don't forget; use the KISS principle; Keep It Simple Silly.
Now that you have your idea, you're ready to start doing the real stuff, that is writing.
One more thing: before you start hitting those keys, ask yourself if there is an audience waiting for your book, or are you going to be your own reader?
Make sure there are people willing to read your eBook before you write it. Otherwise: DO NOT WRITE IT!
Here are some tips to keep in mind when you write:
* Be original. Inject your personality into your writing style
* Use short sentences
* Use words that don't force your readers to grab a dictionary to understand you
* Put in some sort of illustration to prove your point
If you should need more tips or advice concerning the creative process of writing, then the internet or your local library has loads of free information as well as being your main support tools for research, writing tools and advice.
What about the IT?
Well you can do eBooks with just word and pdf or you can go the whole hog and build in html - you need no technical ability, just follow the instructions and yes its free.
It doesn't take a lot to start as a writer. All you need is a text processing program like MS Word, Notepad, or any HTML Editor, like FrontPage 98/2000 as most eBooks are compiled from HTML pages.
If you have no idea how to write HTML, you can download free guides.
If you've never created a web page before, this tutorial will guide you gently through the basics of HTML. If you already have experience in HTML, you'll probably find this info a bit simple.
However, the tutorial is free, and there are some useful tips in it, explaining how to upload your web pages to your server, and how to reduce your GIF images. A GIF optimizer that reduces the file size of your GIF images up to 75% is also included.

I was actually thinking of reading "The Copywriter's Handbook : A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Copy That Sells" by Robert W Bly [u:w3cg00nn]OR[/u:w3cg00nn] "The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications" by Amy Einsohn. Would anyone know if these books are any good?
Thanks
