I have been a prolific reader all my life, so I am thinking of exploring the thought that everyone has at least one book in them. I have several ideas, just don't know where to start, any help would be grateful !

PJ, I think that's a personal call. Do you think you need to learn more before you start? Do you think you'd learn better in a class?PJ Goodall said:So no real need to sign up to one of these creative writing courses and part with a lot of money in the first place ?
How I got started was taking a class at a nearby college. We met once a week for two months and all the students got to know each other and learned to take baby steps together. It was a fantastic experience.PJ Goodall said:I have been a prolific reader all my life, so I am thinking of exploring the thought that everyone has at least one book in them.
