6 easy steps on How to Write a Book (compared to an artist's sketch)

1.  Write down your ideas  (sketch it out)

2. Combine them into a short story  (Add some "meat to the bones")

3.  Add some other details to make previous ones stand out  (Outline)

4.  "Dig deeper" and add some realistic events to your story to make it seem real, to set the setting more deeply, and to make it more understandable to the reader.  (Add depth)

5.  Add even more details to tie everything together and make the story not so far-fetched and random  (Shade or make contrast)

6.  Proof-read your story and correct any silly or major mistakes that you've made, and possibly add a few more less important details for your finished book.  (Add highlights)

Remember:
-Always feel free to erase
-Be open-minded to all ideas
-You don't need to take all advise
-Take it one step at a time
-Don't rush
-You can always go back and change something
-Don't give up
