Intro: Have you ever thought about writing a book? Are you one of the many people who have a started manuscript â?? or several started manuscripts â?? but just canâ??t seem to finish one? Or have you finished a book and now have no idea of how to get it published? A 2002 survey by The Jenkins Group showed that more than 81% of Americans have a book in them. If you are one of the millions of Americans who are either writing a book â?? or thinking about writing a book, Antoinette Kuritz, Book Developer, Publicist, Media Coach, Author, Publishing Expert and Founder of the LaJolla Writers Conference is here with a few tips from behind the book cover. Tips: Define what you want to write. Doing this provides focus to your writing. Fiction or non-fiction? If itâ??s fiction, what genre? Romance, suspense, mystery? If itâ??s non-fiction, self-help, inspiration, a cook book? Know what you want to write. Determine your reading audience. Adults or young adults, middle graders or pre-schoolers. Men or women? Boys or girls? Or both? Knowing who your reading audience is helps determine the length of the book, the format, the vocabulary, and it further focuses your writing. Make and take the time to write. With our oh-so-busy lives, this may be the most difficult thing to do. We tend to keep our day jobs and write second shift, and then we feel guilty about time taken from our family or significant other. But if you want to be a writer, you have to take this time, give yourself permission to do so. Be consistent. Set aside a specific time on specific days that are dedicated to your writing, and then use that time to write. In short, keep to a schedule. A page a day means a book in a year. Create a writing space for yourself. Whether you write at the local coffee house, in your office after hours, or in the pantry of your house, make a space for yourself that you associate with writing, where you can keep your notes, even put up a story board or chapter headings â?? someplace that reminds you of the task at hand. Join a writers group. Accountability is often the difference between someone who writes and someone who wants to write. And joining a writerâ??s group means weekly or bi-weekly accountability â?? the need to have a certain number of pages done by a certain point. Be willing to take editorial advice. This is often the hardest thing for aspiring authors â?? taking advice about their manuscript. But know that even the manuscripts of hugely successful writers go through several edits before they are published. Choose and attend a great writerâ??s conference. Great writerâ??s conferences help you hone your craft, teach you about the business, and provide invaluable contacts. If you seek to traditionally publish, they get you in front of agents and editors, and even successful writers who will give you a leg up. If you want to self-publish, they help you understand the process and know what to look for in your publishing team. In short, a great conference can help you avoid all the pitfalls and can help jumpstart your writing career.

(Golden Valley, MN) Racer-author, Robert Bakke, has a message for combat veterans who find themselves tormented from the horrors of war, â??Jesus took the bullet for youâ?¦itâ??s going to be okay.â?? Bakke says his heart for combat veterans was born out of a service call to his home. Shortly after a furnace repairman passed through Bakkeâ??s garage and admired Bakkeâ??s racecar, the repairman paused, lowered his head and in a soft voice said, â??Iâ??ve done some terrible things.â?? The repairman explained how he had served in Afghanistan and was now tormented with feelings of quilt, shame, and the fear of being condemned over some of the things he had seen and done. â??He was afraid he wouldnâ??t be forgiven by God,â?? says Bakke, â??And a massive amount of veterans are sharing the same pain.â?? Why was Bakke chosen for such a sharing of the soul? Because along with all the bright colors that adorn his racecar, youâ??ll also find the words, â??Robert Bakke â??Performanceâ?? Ministries.â?? Bakkeâ??s image shattering ministry doesnâ??t stop there. He is also a jet captain, flies airplanes upside down and has a black belt in karate. He is also an avid bow hunter. Put it all together, and Bakkeâ??s ministry connects at a man-to-man level that opens people up, including veterans who are in-crisis and struggling for forgiveness. â??There are few facts every veteran needs to know about Godâ??s forgiveness,â?? says Bakke, â??Both Moses and the Apostle Paul were murderers, and yet God chose them to write vast amounts of the Bible. Jesus took the blame for anything you could have done, and all your guilt and shame, and then took the bullet with your name on it. All you have to do is believe, and this truth will set you free.â?? About Robert Bakke Robert Bakke is jet captain and aerobatic flight instructor, a black belt and regional champion, an Amazon #1 best-selling author, a race car driver, and a ski instructor. He was running a multi-million dollar company by the age of 24. Bakke moved on to captain jet aircraft and coach people into their highest level of performance.

Author / Contributor bio: Dr. G. Keith Smith is a board certified anesthesiologist in private practice since 1990. In 1997, he co-founded The Surgery Center of Oklahoma, an outpatient surgery center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, owned by over 90 of the top physicians and surgeons in central Oklahoma. Dr. Smith serves as the medical director, CEO and managing partner while maintaining an active anesthesia practice. In 2009, Dr. Smith launched a website displaying all-inclusive pricing for various surgical procedures, a move that has gained him and the facility, national and even international attention. Many Canadians and uninsured Americans have been treated at his facility, taking advantage of the low and transparent pricing available. His most recent effort is the launch of the Free Market Medical Association which provides a platform where those seeking to obtain high quality and affordable health care can find free market-minded providers, both physicians and facilities. Operation of this free market medical practice, the standard for all who have embraced this practice approach, has gained the endorsement of policymakers and legislators nationally. More and more self-funded insurance plans are taking advantage of Dr. Smithâ??s pricing model resulting in significant savings to their employee health plans. His hope is for as many facilities as possible to adopt a transparent pricing model, a move he believes will lower costs and improve quality of care for all. He has made appearances on the John Stossel Show, CNBC, Huffington Post, The Oâ??Reilly Factor, Capital Account, The Ron Paul Channel, NBC Nightly News and has been featured by Reason Magazineâ??s TV division. The New York Times, Time Magazine, ABC news, Forbes and many others have written articles featuring Dr. Smithâ??s revolutionary approach to the pricing of health care and uncompromising free market principles.
