Hi, I was looking for your journal on Amazon, but didn’t see it. Where are you books found? Thanks for your video, by the way.
It's sold on my website. You can find it here 👉🏾 howtowriteabook.samcart.com/products/the-authors-journal
Thank you so much!
I'm most of the way into my 4th novel (75K-85K words each) on Google Docs and the only "lag" difficulty I experience comes when I take a break and find it autosaved and makes me find the spot I was editing.
I just experienced that.
@@thelifeofawriter I'm trying to format in Word now & it's a lot like Whack-A-Mole. Each step has the tendency to undo what I did before. Apparently there's a step-by-step sequence, like cracking a combination on a safe.
Here's a tutorial 👉🏾 ruclips.net/video/SVJAMAPUTzA/видео.html
Your videos are SO HELPFUL and I am SO GRATEFUL! Thank you thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤
Glad you like them!
👍
How would I add a dedication page?
Just add a page and label it Acknowledgements. It would go in your front matter.
Tips I love! Dedicated office space One chapter per writing session
Tell me more about your tour? I’m in Hendersonville, Tennessee, just north of Nashville.
Hi Katie, I've decided to do it online. There's been two sessions thus far and an upcoming one in the next month or so. Make sure you're on my list to get more information 👉🏾 write-one-publications-inc.ck.page/ba784a7f1a
@@thelifeofawriter very exciting! Well done! Thanks for the invite!
Good afternoon.. Are you a ghostwriter?
No, I'm a writing coach and developmental editor.
Wow! Clear and concise. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks
on the first 28sec you resolve my problem, THANKS!!!
💯
This is frustrating. When I preview in kindle create it looks one way. Then when I upload my file I created in KC and view it in KDP regular site it looks off and everything is all out of wack.
That's really odd. Have you reached out to Amazon?
@@thelifeofawriter I'll give it a try, thank you.

I indent/Align my Chapter title to the center just fine. But when I Align/Indent my beginning paragraph back to the left again, my title goes to the left side with it. HOW DO I FIX THIS???
I am new to your channel and looking to start my first book with no knowledge about writing but I really want to.
I have lots of videos to help you get started.
What things is needed to write book
Computer/tablet/or phone and a book idea.
Good morning
I have just completed my first book , is it possible to meet you to show my work and I need some suggestions too would be kind enough to do so
I prefer to use Word mostly because of familiarity, and a feeling of security. I might give docs a try, as I'm thinking of possibly maybe getting a Chromebook. 🤔 Thanks so much for the comparison! Love your content! 👍🏾
Thanks! I've started using Google Docs more. Word has become glitchy.
❤❤❤&❤❤❤ been clicking on some others videos didn't help like this...now my work is done and I'm set with table of contents for LiFe🎉!! Thank you much....😊
💃🏾
Exactly what I needed in just over 1 minute. Legend. Thank you.
Awesome! Glad to hear it.
Good information and instructions
I did exactly what you're saying, but my TOC "dotted line" runs past the page margin and puts the page number of every chapter underneath the chapter title. (*I also have a chapter numeral above the chapter title for every chapter. I put the numeral and title both on the 'chapter title' style - don't know if this is a problem?). Any suggestions? I would gladly pay someone to do this! I finished writing the book long ago, but the formatting issues are bogging me down. Maybe it's my dated computer and Word 10 that is the problem...
Are your margins correct on the other pages?
@@thelifeofawriter yes. I finally found a video (Leon Renner) about what to do if your TOC isn't behaving that showed some hidden features to access more hidden snares in more layers of Word! (That program is evil! lol) Finally got my page numbers to align on the margin! Thank you for replying!
Glad to hear it! It is evil lol!
Copy write protection?
THAT WAS AWESOME! thank you for all your help! Great Video!
Glad it helped!

Aww! Thanks!
Amazing 👍
I love your channel it has informed me of so much when I had literal no experience with it. However I still have a question because I have my finished product of a book but I have no idea what company I could show it to that gives me the easiest way to publish. What site do you use? And if possible could I reach out to you privately about it because im really new to this stuff and need someone to help
I recommend Amazon.
why does every font change when i want to change just 1 letter or 1 sentence?
It shouldn’t.
@@thelifeofawriter bruh
can I use real names if I decide to write a TRUE STORY ???
You can, but you may not want to for legal reasons depending on what the story is about.
Hi just curious as a newbie here, would i start writing in google docs or Kindle Create, I'm feeling motivated to start but i'm not sure where i start writing at please help! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL :)
Google Docs! You’ll format in Kindle Create.
@@thelifeofawriter thank you! Do you format after you write the book and complete in google docs? or do both during the writing process? I'm so new, I need to just buy your digital products if they give you a step by step🙂haha
You format once your book is complete and has been edited.
I can’t find kindle create app…does it still exist?
Yes. The link is in the description.
How do I add the sidebar outline
Thank you for this informational video! The inspiration is definitely flowing. I look forward to seeing more helpful videos. 💚 🐝
You are so welcome!
I just wrote my first book and was super proud! I wrote it one reedsy but I clicked I button that said “time line” and I started to scroll through it. It reset my whole book to say one where I had no writing at all. I was able to half way reset it but I’m missing my whole last chapter 😭
Urgggh! That sucks!
Hello thanks for your video, I would like to know are you still using Google Docs to write your books ? I am currently looking for a free writing platform like google docs. I came across (Reedsy) but the website is very glitchy and seems to take hours to load .
You are speaking directly to me. Thank you ❤
You are so welcome.
