AuthorCathie here -- Have YOU Got a Book to Write?

Posted on Jul 27, 09 at 07:30 PM

This is a "Zone" DEVOTED to writers who KNOW they've got a book in them -- and are not sure what to do to get it done -- and "out there."

(Hint: It's VERY doable!).

Join us as we explore and learn and figure out the steps to getting started writing a memoir or autobiography, getting it "workshopped" and improved upon, getting it to "another level" -- and ultimately getting the work to a place that YOU find satisfying --

We'll have FUN!

Hi Cathie,

 

Larry Beck here in Denton, Texas.  I use the pen name of LB Woodgate at Helium. - http://www.helium.com/users/434466/show_articles

 

I do feel I have a book about my life in me but can't seem to get past "My name is Ishmael".   I have plenty of time on my hands now that I have been "forced" into retirement.  Any ideas on how how to get motivated beyond the inclination.

 

BTW, my dad was born and raised in Colorado in the Salida/Leadville areas.  His name was Ansley Weber Beck and his grand-father, Henry Weber, was a Colorado pioneer whose family owned at one time most of what Canon City is sitting on.

I know I have a book inside of me. I've been writing it for a few weeks now. The prologue is posted here under two different catagories. I write under Sebastian Talon, here at Helium, and will publish under that name. However, my real name is Steven.

I can use all the help I can get with my writiing. Not so much subject and what I have added or not to my story. I need help with story structure, etc. And I will probably need help with Dialogue once I get to that point. There is none in the prologue, and you will see why when you read it. That can't last, however. The first chapter, which I'm working on now, will be the true test of whether this story, and my telling of it, will work.

Anyway...I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I was here. Hope to hear back from you.

I actually wrote my book, and noticed it does not have enough information to be valuable from my own perspective, so I am going back to the beginning and adding additional information, sources to make it more credible, however I am hoping that by the end of the year I will be looking at the finished product and it will be the third I have written.
