Some good tips in there particularly about setting goals. I am going to start on 1,000 - 1,500 words a day. I just registered my own domain name as well. I have no idea what to do with it next but it is a start. Thanks again. Jack Thanks Joanna. Some good tips in there particularly about setting goals.

I truly mean that. I have had this book idea swimming around up there for ages and ages. I finally put fingertip to keyboard a few months ago and have been tapping away, secretly wondering how on earth I would ever get a book published, edited.... So I am going to visit here again and soak up what you have to say! Thank you so much for this article.
