Ask anyone that you meet if they*ve ever had an idea to write a book and I bet that 99% of the time their eyes light up and they say *Yes.*

Everyone has numerous wonderful book ideas. My experience and conversations with thousands of people tell me that this is true. The difference between those that actually write a book and those that don't is simple. Those that don't write a book don't believe that they can.

That's simply not true. Anyone can write a book.

If you can talk, you can write.

Take a look at 5 of your favorite books, fiction or Non-fiction it doesn't matter. In fact, grab a few of each. Now, open each book and read a few paragraphs. What do you see? What you'll likely notice is that there is a common theme running in all of them.

They*re written conversationally. They*re written like you talk. Conversational style is the best style because it is easy to read, easy to understand and easy to write.

Take a look at some of the most prolific authors, both fiction and Non-fiction. Stephen King comes to mind as a very prolific fiction writer. Non-fiction writers might include the Chicken Soup series and co writers Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. All of those books are written conversationally. They*re accessible to readers of all ages, income levels, and IQ's.

Conversational style eliminates jargon. It eliminates large words that people have to rely on a dictionary to understand. Conversational style also uses the word *you* often. It's written as if you were writing a letter or telling a story to a friend.

Basically, if you can write a letter to a friend, then you can write a book*I promise. Of course you need to be able to plan a book too but all that requires is a plan or an outline. Once your outline is established, writing the book can take as little as a month to complete.
