Time to Write Book

Last week I attended a workshop and Dan Poynter was the speaker. His motto was that nobody should die with a book inside them and he helps people to write books and get self-published. So many people have tried to encourage me to write a book, but I just didn't feel I had enough content to write something great. One piece of advice that Dan gave me was to get stories from people and then compile them into the book, so that is what I'm going to do. I want to create a book that will work along with my Me and You scrapbook that I created and I'm going to get all my friends to help me write it and together we are going to create a masterpiece and raise some money to help kids go to burn camp.

You see, I believe that everyone has a story inside them just itching to get out and I want you to use this platform as a way to get your story into a book. Every person who's story makes it into the book will receive recognition in the book (including website and blog) plus a chance to call themselves a contributing writer plus an opportunity to help raise funds for burn camp. A portion of the book sales will go towards burn camps.

Here's what I need from you. I need a short story about your life or a situation in your life between 200 and 400 words and it will relate to one of the following topics: (pls let me know what topic you are writing for). You can also write more than one story if you like.

Purpose - what is your purpose in life and how do you know that. What are you doing to accomplish your purpose.

Vision - how do you vision what you want to achieve in your life, what have you visualized and created...

Passion - what gives you passion in your life, tell a story about something you were passionate about...

Possibilities - I believe that life is full of possibilities, what possibilities do you see for yourself...

Uniqueness - I believe that I am a unique individual and these are some of the qualities I see in myself...

Champion - these are people who put us on a pedestal and believe in us, who is your champion and why...

Hero - these are people who WE believe in and have made an impact in our lives, who is your hero and why...

Beautiful - tell a story about why you believe you are beautiful - what does being beautiful mean to you...

Perserverance - how have you perservered in your life? What made you go go go and not quit?

Dreams - tell a story about how you had a dream and accomplished it, or do you have another dream that you are working on accomplishing now...

I'm looking forward to hearing your stories and seeing how together we can create a masterpiece of a book that everyone will enjoy reading.

Here is the link for the first Me and You workbook that I did. Me and You Workbook

Deadline for stories: Feb 28/10
Email stories to: kellyaf@telus.net

ps - invite your friends to tell their stories too, the more the merrier!

    It is widely assumed, contrary to fact, that theism necessarily involves the two assumptions which cannot be squared with the existence of so much suffering, and that therefore, per impossibile, they simply have to be squared with the existence of all this suffering, somehow.
