Once there lived a humble wizard named Alaric, whose life took a turn when he discovered the secret of time travel. He could now explore parallel universes and alter history for the better. In one world, he stopped a war, saving millions. Another, he freed a captive kingdom. But as he journeyed through dimensions, Alaric learned that change was not always what it seemed. For every action had unintended consequences, and some histories were not meant to be changed. Yet, his heart brimmed with hope, knowing the power of choice shaped destinies in ways beyond his wildest dreams.

Upon the sands of time, A tale untold unfolds, Of gifts concealed and destinies entwined, In whispers soft and echoes bold. A traveler, bound by choice or fate, Discovers talents long restrained, Weaving threads through past and present, As future's tapestry is wained.

In the shadows of a world unknown, two hearts beat as one. Their love, forbidden by the laws of time and space, danced through the cosmos like an eternal waltz. But whispers of crime lingered in the air, casting doubt on their embrace. As the rhythm of their passion played out, the mystery deepened, and suspense held them in its grip. And so, they ventured forth, hand in hand, to unravel the enigma that bound their fates.

How to Write an Ebook on Canva and AI in Less Than 24 Hours - Step-by-Step Checklist & Instructions

I got to get this written down, before I forget. Has this happened to you? You are looking at the result of one late night when I had an idea for a book or ebook. I decided to record it on a voice recorder app on my phone, then that is the origin of Ebook Assistant. There is more to the story, and I hope to share it later, yet also I have to give credit to a video I watched that encouraged me to take action on this, and it ended with this saying, "enough thinking about it, just go do it". I did and now we have Ebook Assistant. I hope you enjoy today's blog and podcast. I love to hear (signals) from you, so please like, follow, share, and comment - even message me at our site ebookassistant dot com if you like. Now, enough thinking, just go do it....

About this Post

Why stay until the end? Stay because you will like what I have to give you, please stay, or save or download this now; so that you can refer back to it for years. Share it on your social media. Here is the link to copy to your Social Media posts: https://howtowriteanebook.blog/{Post Name}

Terminology and Jargon: You will learn these and much more

proofreading - draft - Canva - AI - Beta-Reader - Bard - ChatGPT

Good to Take Notes of These Because You Will Use Them ....

Start Somewhere

Write it, Record it in audio or video on your phone, write it on a piece of cardboard from a container you are putting in the trash, or sit down at your computer and type it. Just get it down and take action now, or reserve a day this week or weekend to start.

Direct Your Sail Boat - Mind Setting and Mindset

Set your mind on this: You Can Do This! I believe in you. Write down on a piece of paper something like the, 'I will have my ebook online for sale by tomorrow, and then I will promote it and I will earn money from the sales of my ebook in a month or less'

Do this, it does wonders for your chances of succeeding. Then understand that Setting your Sail Boat direction is pointing yourself in the right direction to achieve landing at your goal, and I have gladly provided a well-planned map for you. Just read until the end and save it to your bookmarks - favorites or download it.

Meditation - Thankfulness - Calmness, & Prayer

No special instructions really here, it is just something that most people overlook. Do these things above, and the better you ask for prayer to God for success than not, even if you do not believe in God, i think you will be glad to have God on your side. Be thankful for your opportunity to do this. Meditate or just quietly focus a few minutes, and do some things that allow you to be calm. I turn down the lights and play some water sounds from YouTube sometimes as I write.

Go to Your Happy Place

Try to get to a quiet place you can write. I know of friends that have their office in their closet, and one that has an office the size of a phone booth (look it up if you do not know what a phone booth is, it is small). I saw it, and it was amazing. Worst case, if you have a loud home, you may have to sit in the bathroom, or in a car. I see people often film YouTube videos from their car, so you would not be the first to have to do this. When you are filming or recording it is required to have quiet. It is very important to you, and it is okay to talk aloud to yourself or ideas.

Go to where you can get your ebook writing done with quietness, focus, without restriction on your emotions, and thoughts.

The Idea

This is the most important part. It is the seed your ebook masterpiece grows from. Protect it and expand it. It will be a complete ebook soon. You will be able to share your idea and influence improvement in complete strangers, while earning.

Outline (The First Draft of Table of Contents)

How will you record it: pen/pencil paper, typewriter (explain for younger audience), phone voice recorder (app suggestion), word processor Google Dogs

Cover - Make it Now or at End -

I do recommend Canva.com for your cover creation. Just search for ebook cover once you login with your free login. I would recommend editing an existing cover. I usually just use a cover that gets my attention over all others. I try to imitate some cover that comes from a bestselling book that I see when searching for bestselling book book covers. I just use there idea as inspiration for mine, and I do not use the same cover idea. An example is if a top book has a all white modern background with one big word on it. I may use that same idea, and the word will be different and it may be in different colors. Remember you have to be 31 percent different to avoid copyright errors.

Research - How to Do

Keep it simple and this will work for every book you ever write. Look up the top listings, sort by page views or likes, for at least a month in history, and write on what they talk or write about - do not copy , just write on similar topic, even same name, if it is something that is common like: how to use Google docs for example . Although you can make your name better, by adding some good things and combining with things others are talking of in their posts or videos

Record it - Document it

again, How will you record it: pen/pencil paper, typewriter (this is the thing that we made books with before computers, it has a keyboard and a piece of paper that comes out just above the keyboard), phone voice recorder (app suggestion), word processor Google Dogs

Get it in Writing - Write It - Use AI ChatGPT or Bard

If this is your first use of ChapGPT or Bard A.I. (artificial intelligence, yet i prefer assisted intelligence); you are in for a treat. It is like searching on Google, yet, you just say things (called Prompts). An example is "tell me a list of 5 books about writing I should read" or "write me 10 titles for a book about romance that is set in Paris" . It will give you some amazing results. Go here to get a free account and get started in the A.I. age of enlightment:

ChatGPT: https://openai.com > Menu > "Try ChatGPT"

Bard: https://bard.google.com > Login with a Google account

PROMPT

"Give me a name for a new ebook about succeeding in writing ebooks" (check this on yours, you probably will get the same response, although it may not be the first respons. I tried this with a video I saw of someone in another country and I did get same response)

Example, Created by Bard: (first result response to prompt)

(result) From Blank Page to Bestseller: The No-Nonsense Guide to E-book Success

Same Example by ChatGPT: (first result response to prompt)

(result) Wordsmith's Triumph: Mastering the Art of Ebook Success

So, you see, probably not the title you would have written.

Let's say you wrote your idea on a napkin at lunch, now you need to get it in computer file on your word processor. If you recorded with voice recorder app for Google, then you can just export, or save the transcript to Google Drive or Docs. (explain More)

Summarize (This is Great for All, and Not Done by Many)

Simple - Just cover again the main big points that you talked of. Basically if you talked of 20 points, then you can summarize them all in 5 to 7 big sections. This meaning that your outline can be 10 to 20 points, yet it should be divided into about 5 to 7 bigger headings that contain these 10 to 20 points or sub-sections

Edit it and Add Your Style to it

Now Edit (cleaning for authors and writers): and Keep Your Style or Add your new style. I suggest this order of editing: Spell Check, Grammer Check, Add Paragraph every 5 to 7 Lines (where thoughts change), and Add SEO (keywords) use Find and Replace (explain)

ReRead it (Proofreading, Format, Cover, Guest Reader)

Fast Feedback is Good (remember you only have 24-hours) [Click Here to Go to Our Feedback Request on our Support Page]

I am sure you will get at least one feedback. Send me, gj, a message at ebookassitant.com/contact and say in the message "i need fast feedback". You see you already have a dependable virtual ebook assistant to help with writing ebooks.

Check your format and add Section Bold Headings, as I have here, if you like. Done is better that perfect, just get it done. You will price it cheap enough, so that the information is most important - not every detail.

Cover - Make sure it good and looks like something that is a successful ebook or book. Search Google for best sellers, and look at the Image results. Pick the one that stands on the page, and imitate that style

Guest reader, Beta Reader - A beta-reader is the B reader or second reader of your ebook. They can read it and give you notes on changes and fixes. Preferably a friend, Post a entry on Facebook and ask for a few readers to message you for a free copy (2 at most, I guess because of time constraint) and turn away the others. Say in the post you are only accepting two, so act fast, because you have a deadline of 2 to 4 hours. Implement fixes that are suggested and are appropriate.

Post it to Internet for Sale

I suggest Etsy (0.20$ per posting) or Free, Amazon KDP, Gumroad, or Ecwid (the last 3 are free) - Contact us for help - https://ebookassistant.com/contact

Market and Promote it

Social Media, I prefer Pinterest, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts or Videos - in this order. Just post about your creation. I suggest pages from your ebook pictures (use screen shot or screen capture it is on your phone or computer), cover pictures, videos, how-to's, short videos of you or words on a presentation videos use Canva, and why you want to help them as content.

Share it on video if you like. The key here is to post daily for weeks afterward. If you found your passion (the thing you would write on even when you do not want to write) then posting will be great.

Setup a free ConvertKit account and make a Landing Page. Give them a one-page summary of your book for signing up on your landing page or some useful checklist. Put this link as the link they buy from (if you use it), and make the link shorter by using site TinyURL.com.

Get Sales -How to Write a Ebook that Sells

Make sure you include a link to two places to buy it. I suggest one place to buy as Amazon, then I suggest two being a free one or Etsy. I say this because if for some reason Amazon closes your account, you need a backup. Really it is better practice to have both Amazon and one other.

Now What - Expectations

You can expect to feel drained from writing. It takes much out of you, and it expands your thinking. You can expect to have mixed feelings or success from writing, then maybe sadness if you do not get sales or "signals" from the Internet. Signals are some one liking your content on social media, or comment on your posts. It takes a week or so. Stay in it and post daily. It will happen. Stay small, do not try to do everything. Only have at most 2 of each social media, sales pages, etc. AND please do contact us at Ebook Assistant to get help, proofreading or evaluation of your work before posting, technical help, and/or if we need to explain something further or edit this post

Article Summary

We have here about 15 points that basically are in about 4 main sections: The Idea and Mindset, Writing the Book, Placing Online to Sell, and Marketing and Promotion. You will do good to follow this outline, and add to it as-needed. Make sure you do some mindset preparations, and train on AI with the help of YouTube videos. It will greatly improve your ebooks and save you much time. Implement Canva not only for covers, also try to use Canva to do the entire book. Canva also make video easy, so you can make video in Canva to produce your marketing and promotional content. AI is the future, so learning it now will be great for you. And your AI books will be using the latest technology while also improving with the expanded knowledge AI can add to your ebooks.

Congratulations - All of That in 1 day is a Large Accomplishment

Do not worry - Do it in a Weekend, or A Week if you Want - And View Videos on YouTube for direction, just try not to sit and scroll videos to long. If you focus for 1 full day on only this, you will be done. And have confidence to write more while promoting on social media.

Do all of this and you will have become a published author, or if you are already a published author you have a really useful checklist and you may write and publish your first book in one day. Hopefully you will get sales in one day. If so, and any other great things happen - please Comment or Message Us!

I was thinking back to the post I made about ebooks being so much more accessible for so many people compared to paperbacks/hardbacks and the other thing I wanted to add is the vast, vast majority of the time, the author gets so much more profit comparatively for an ebook than a paperback/hardback.

That's not a problem for huge huge huge authors either way, but for small-time authors, or authors with small publishing houses, the difference in profits can sometimes be $2.00 or $3.00 per ebook sold vs. $0.50c or $1.00 per paperback. Really. You pay more, but the author gets a lot less.

In the case of indie authors like myself, ebooks give the highest returns always.

This isn't necessarily something most readers think about, but I have had readers assume that because the book format cost them more, that automatically means more goes to the author. In fact it's often the opposite. There are very few exceptions (university texts come to mind). But in the case of your run-of-the-mill indie fiction, if you genuinely want the most profit to go to the author, get the ebook.

[fictionadventurer]

I keep thinking about Lewis' review of The Hobbit, because he claimed that the main thing contemporary reviewers compared it to was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Was fantasy in that poor of a state that Alice was the closest thing they could think of? Comparing that chaotic fever dream to Tolkien's intricately crafted world? Lewis does specify that the comparison is that both books are by an "Oxford professor at play", but they're otherwise so different that putting the two in the same category baffles me.

Commission Info :)

[rhythmicreverie]

In a realm of magic and mystery, where the sun dipped below the horizon, a long-lost family member reappeared. The once-silent castle echoed with tales of ancient sorcerers and their apprentices. In just 100 words, the world of enchantment came alive: "In twilight's embrace, the lost one found, An heir to magic's boundless ground. The castle whispers secrets old, Of masters and students bold. Together they weave a tale, Of sorcery's golden veil. A bond unbroken, hearts entwined, In the realm where spells are lined."

✨ A Murderlight Fanfic eBook Post! ✨

Essentially putting this here because I need a link for my carrd, but also because I don't think I put them together here in a single post before either.

The reason these exist is that while downloading fics from AO3 is incredibly valid and I do it on occasion too, I never really liked the text spacing and the way it carried across all the metadata and tags. So, I put together my own eBook files that would look more 'bookish' and have title pages, interactive table of contents, and in some cases even fanart images inserted. And since I have them, I don't mind anyone else collecting them too.

All files are epub format, which are supported on Kindle app and newer kindles, and any other e-reader.
