Excellence in Writing and in Publishing

I wish that I was more dedicated to blogging, but journaling was never my forte. However, I try to send out some words of information if not wisdom as often as possible. For today, I just want to say a few words about excellence.

Writing a book is often about sharing your information and/or your wisdom. So many people have vast stores of experience and accumulated knowledge that can benefit thousands of people. When you decide to write a book, stay true to your roots and to your background. Write about what you know to be true. Even though you are writing from your own knowledge, though, keep your audience in mind. They are the people who are searching for something to fill a need. They don't want to know what is best for you the author; they are searching for help. Hold that thought. Help them and they will want your book.

My best advice to you, coming from my experience, is to publish the very best book that you can manage. Don't be satisfied with mediocre. Be satisfied only with excellence.
