•Everyone was going to buy my book
•Everybody would love my book
•My book would be a bestseller
•When I become a published writer,
it will be easier
Things I believed that was not
true. - Keila Ochoa (Author)
•Content
•Intent
•Audience
Be clear about three things.
•Make time to write.
•Make time to think.
•Be observant.
All good writing comes from
the heart.

Publisher
Graphic designer

Marketing
Consider these interplays:
•If you hope to reach your greatest
potential as a writer, read as much
and as widely as you can.
•Keep a journal, a notebook or a
tablet.
Make it a way of life to be a reader.
Write, Write, Write, Right Now!
