For O.: Structuring Your Book

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

For easier reading, I would suggest that you break the material into

very separate

paragraphs. Use interesting subheads, too. Headlines written well in

newspapers is what entices the reader to the article.

When you do that, then even discrete chapters will start to evolve. It

could be done chronologically, or by incident, or by the people

involved, etc. What you have are stories within stories within stories.

They are more separate than you realize.

You want to grab readers who do not even have issues of chronic illness

in their lives. Try analyzing some of the book excerpts in the " Readers'

Digest, " for example. They are usually fascinating reads, even if I have

no intention of going rock climbing.

Good luck, !

Thanks for the suggestions. It is very overwhelming as I start to

try to pull all of this together. If I would have listened to others a long

time ago and wrote as the things happened in the book format I think my job

would

have been sooooo much easier. As I get things done, would you be willing to

read them over and make some suggestions. I am looking for a few people who

would be willing to be honest enough to say, good or borrrrrringggggg try

again! LOL

Thanks again for your suggestions and I will be paying closer attention to

the readers digest. That's a great suggestion!
