Getting started to write a book!

When I moved to Colorado nearly four years ago, I joined the Douglas County Writers Group. I had always had a yen to write a book, but I didn't have a clue how to start. Keep in mind that my professional career after my military career was Technical Writing.

Several people in the group said that I should just start writing short stories no longer than 500 words. I had told lots of stories of my navy career, but had never put any of them down on paper. The idea was that as I accumulated short stories on the same subject, I would soon discover that I had enough short stories to create a book. Bingo, that is I what I did! It can work for you too.
