I Wrote A Book - Paperback

by Preston Smith (Author)

Oh boy where do I start?

You know those dreams you have when you're young? You're so full of energy and passion about the dream? And then when you grow up into adulthood, you can be bogged down by... you know... bills and stuff? That kind of energy in your life can really keep you down and out man. This book is one I've wanted to publish for a while, as it marks the end of the chapter of my life where I don't pursue my dreams, and instead I just do the thing that I wanted to do.

Anyway, enough of that motivational teaser. This is a book about me writing a book. It really needs no introduction, but I wrote one anyway, so here goes:

The introduction is the most important part of any book you ever pick up. This is the part that sets the tone for the entire piece. The "intro" can make or break a reader's experience, if they aren't impressed by this first section they likely won't keep reading into the first chapter. I've seen plenty of authors have a friend, or another author, write the introduction in their books and that's always been pretty impressive to me, being someone with no friends or authors readily available in my life. In order to really capture the reader's attention and convince them to read past the introduction there are several things you must accomplish while writing it. I have no idea what those things are, I just hope you thought this was a good introduction and if you liked this you might like the rest of the book. No idea.

Nailed it.
