I think I have decided on what the next book is going to be. I’m not going to say what it is yet, because the decision could change. But I figured it was better to get started on something, rather than just sitting around for months pondering what my decision should be.<\/p>\n
Someone very wise once said to me that it is better to be moving than stationary. If you’re moving, the direction can change, but if you’re stationary, it takes a lot more effort to get started to do anything.<\/p>\n
I even created a new QuarkXpress (the graphic design layout program that I use for laying out my books) file yesterday, to start putting things on pages. While up at the local shops waiting for the car to be serviced, I purchased a notebook and went to the library and started making notes and jotting down ideas.<\/p>\n
When starting a new book, sometimes I find it useful to start off by writing the blurb for the back of the book. It helps me to crystallise what the book is going to be about. If I can explain it to someone else, it means that I have a good idea where I’m heading with it. So I had a go at the blurb yesterday, and eventually came up with one that I think captures what I’m trying to achieve. <\/p>\n
