3 Simple Steps To Writing Your First Book From Scratch Today we'll dive into step 2 of writing your book from scratch...
Step 2 - Rewriting Ernest Hemingway suggested rewriting a book 30 times before it is ready for publication. His reasoning was that each time the writer goes over the book for rewriting, they have a better understanding into the minds of the characters. The more you get to know your characters, the more you will be able to write convincing dialogue and narrative that will suit them. One important thing to remember when you are rewriting is to not be afraid of making major changes in your book. If something is not working and does not feel right, change it. It is important not to get married to your book. While you have a natural passion for the book, you should also be open minded enough to realize if something is not working in your plot, then you have to fix it. The best way to start rewriting is to read through your first draft. You can then note inconsistencies and other plot problems that occur. You should begin your rewriting from the beginning of the book to the end, especially if you are writing a fiction book that will have character development. Even if you are writing non-fiction, you still want to rewrite your book to tighten it up. Try not to use a passive voice when you are writing. This is when you put in words like “would have” and “was.” Try to use more action words in your book, otherwise it may tend to get sluggish. Also, go over the dialog and make sure that it seems natural. You want to look at dialog as well as consistency when you are rewriting your book. Do not be surprised if your book has an ending that is not what you imagined. Many times, writers grow to like some characters and dislike others. The creative process takes on a mind of its own when an author is writing a book. This often means inconsistencies in the book and with the characters. Each time you continue to rewrite the book, you are making it a better story. You have a better feel for the characters in the story with each writing and they become more lifelike to you. So much so that you can figure out what they like for breakfast or what is their favorite color. By including personality traits in the book that are distinguishable to each character, you make them more lifelike for the reader. The more you get to know the characters in your book, the more lifelike they will seem to the reader. You want to get away from flat characters and breathe some life into them. The only way that you can do this, when writing a fiction book, is to get to know them. This is naturally more difficult to do with fiction than non-fiction because the characters are a figment of your imagination. You have to make your imagination come to life on paper when you write your book. Make sure that there are no loose ends in the book and that every sentence drives your plot forward. Get rid of unnecessary dialogue that will slow down the process of your book as well as unnecessary descriptions. The best books are those that continue to move the plot forward and have meaning in every sentence. Do not mistake rewriting as checking for grammar or spelling. This will be done when you are proofreading your book, although you should naturally make any corrections when you see them. Proofreading is very different than rewriting and will be discussed tomorrow. One thing that you may want to do to make your rewriting easier is to give yourself a rest between the rewrites. This allows you to look at the book with fresh eyes and get a fresh start reading it. If you have a friend or trusted person to whom you can give the book, you can give it to them for a critique. They may be able to see glaring errors in the plot that you have overlooked. While you are close to your book, you may also be too close. It is helpful to have a second pair of eyes read the book after you have rewritten it to sufficiency. You cannot rewrite a book too much. There does have to be a point where you say that you are satisfied with the story and what it conveys. After you have completed your book and feel that it is publication worthy, you are ready for a grammar check. Go through your book and look for grammatical errors. There are some instances when grammatical rules are broken, especially when it comes to dialogue. You want to make sure that you have proper grammar used in your book. If you have a grammar check on your word processing program, use it. You can also use spellchecker as well. But never depend on a spellchecker to do your proofreading for you.

Content is King! How many times have you heard that? Well, it's true, which means that you need to spend a lot of time creating content for your sites, blogs and forums. Either that, or you have to spend big bucks to pay other people to create the content for you. Or do you?

Looking for somebody to write your articles for you, or perhaps make a few blog or forum posts at your sites? Finding that ghostwriters and freelancers are MUCH more expensive than you thought they would be? Well rest easy, because I'm about to show you ...

What if I told you that I know of a place where you can have aricles rewritten for only $3.25 a piece? Or of a place where you can get 100% unique articles written for as little as $3.50 a piece?

Curious? You should be. Content creation has never been so affordable! But why should you have somebody else create your content for you? There are 3 reasons:

1. It frees up your time to focus on marketing and product creation.
2. You can't possibly do as much work by yourself as a dozen other people can do.
3. You can't possibly come up with as many ideas for what to write as a dozen or more people can!

I discovered this JEWEL hidden in the vast world wide web when I needed to have 10 articles written. I posted a job at eLance.com, but the bids came back as high as $200! That's $20 an article! WAY out of my price range.
Well, after finding this JEWEL web site, I posted a request to have the 10 articles written. Less than 15 minutes later I got my first response: 10 articles, $5 per article, written in fluent American English, all GUARANTEED to pass Copyscape as 100% unique content. He could have the articles done in as little as 3 days as well.
CHA-CHING!!! I had hit the jackpot!
But, wait! It gets better. Less than two minutes later I received ANOTHER favorable bid, this time for only $4 per article! Five minutes after that I got a third bid at $5 per article from another person who could have them all to me in 3 days.
After I responded to the $4 per hour article writer, he promised the completed work WITHIN 24 HOURS, and wanted to start RIGHT THEN! Try getting those results at eLance!
Many bids later, I finally went with a bid of $3.50 per article, guaranteed within 2 days. I got this bid less than HALF AN HOUR after I posted the job. You'll never see that kind of response on eLance, either...
