A Transcript of... Organize 09 The Four Step Formula |
|
Thanks for joining me on Writing Tips for Content Creators. In this current series we're looking at ways to become a better writer by using organizational tips. Believe it or not, writers are made, not born. Now grab something to take notes with, this tip is really handy. 9. Use The 4-Step Writing Formula. Closely connected to writing your objectives down and then seeing if you are achieving those objectives (particularly in reference to WHAT YOU WANT TO SHARE with your readers) is to use the 4-step writing formula... Step One: Write Out A List of Everything You Want To Share. That's right, just write down everything you want to share in your book. I'm talking just start rambling on paper (or your computer screen). Everything you can think of that relates to the subject of your book. Just a list of "ideas" you want to share. Step Two: Write Everything You Can Think Of For Each Entry. For each entry on your list (I.E. Each "idea") write down everything you can think of. Explain each idea as thoroughly as you can. Share research, examples, case studies, quotes, tips, resources -- everything you can find for each section. Step Three: Organize Your Thoughts. Take everything and put it into a logical order. If it's a tutorial, organize it chronologically in order of which steps come first. If it's a "tips" book, categorize the tips. Put things in a logical order for your readers to be able to understand as they begin reading. Step Four: Edit And Pad The Sections. Go back to each section and edit. Take out what doesn't need to be in there. And add more content to the sections that need further explanation. Congratulations. You just wrote a book. =:) |
