And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh. Eccl.12:12

"Of making many books there is no end";

So you might ask, "why make more?", as I might ask myself.

Then I might, in a truthful manner, answer, "Money", or, "My name blazon in the Halls of Immortality". Or I might simply have something to say.

Words are the most powerful weapons in our arsenal.

With words relationships are destroyed, enemies falter, kingdoms crumble. Words are the mirror of our heart; from within our heart we do speak.

Words are the most desirable tool in our tool box.

With words we can build up a persons confidence or destroy it.

At the architects' commission to design a building, they begin the project with words.

The existence of our written words are for ever. The pages of this media source (web 2.0) is no exception.

"Worlds were formed by the word of God", Heb.11:3. You may wonder why I use the Bible for my reference; With 5-6 billion in sales, the Bible (traditional Judaeo-Christian views), is the all time best seller. A side note; William Shakespeare with 4 billion copies sold is the best selling author :Wikipedia.

You might ask, "How do I write a book?"

It's no big secret, don't go buy "Book Writing 101", like I did. If you want to write a book, just write it. A book is just a bunch of writing. Anyone can write a book.

It might suck or be incomprehensible, but so what: it's still a book. Nothing is stopping you right now from collecting all of your elementary school book reports, or drunken napkin scribbles, binding them together at Kinko's for $20, slapping a title on the cover, and qualifying as an author.

If, on the other hand, you want to write a good book: Fall in line and take a number, most aspiring authors are trying to figure that one out too.

Actually, writing a book isn't just about putting words together. A good book has a beginning, a middle, and an end. A good book has a purpose and doesn't just ramble on. A good book is concise and free of grammatical errors and spelling errors. A good book takes time, and research, and commitment. A good book doesn't just happen. It's made with a little sweat and maybe even a little tears. A good book does require a bit of Writing 101 and a lot of passion.
