My Manuscript

I had a genuis idea for my manuscript.  I think I am going to compile it using a series of essays.  What does everyone think?  I think I can largely use what I’ve written here, expanding on it of course but I think my book may just be a compilation of essays.

  2. Why not? The book called “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” is written that way… I was thinking about doing that type of thing myself.

  7. I’ve seen a lot of people do it. Just remember, for a book to hold together and keep the reader’s attention, you have to have an overarching theme that each essay in someway addresses. They have to be connected by a theme or lead the reader to an answer to a question you pose, or something like that…

    Figuring that out is the fun and the craft of writing a book. I had to do that with my memoir. It was more difficult than I imagined it would be, but, once I got it, it was magic!
