I took this course through WritingAcademy.com. This was a great step by step course on writing your life story. I could also see how some of these tips would work in other genres, as well. I have started my novel, but am no where near the end. I will take more courses from this site, as I love to write and better myself.

Thank You for your knowledge and insight, Steve

I found the book to be very informative for those of us who have wanted to write a book but didn't know where to start. The author's online class and the book provides enough food for thought to get your creative thought process going. I would recommend the book as it will inspire you to start writing.
