It seems so simple, compile my thoughts, write them down, then put them in a logical order. Hmmm, guess I better get started. After all books do not write themselves.

Perhaps it is like baking a cake. In that case here is a format:

Baking a Cake Writing a Book
1. Gather Ingredients

Use ingredients in the pantry

Purchase ingredients needed

 

 1. Gather ideas

Use previously written material

Create new material
2. Combine ingredients in a

particular order

 2. Fomat a logical flow

 
      Mix liquids       Create a Table of Contents
      Mix dry ingredients       Create Appendixes for clarification
           Fold dry ingredients into

the wet  ones

 3. Write an introduction
3.  Bake 4. Write a summary
