Do you think that reading a book should be attributed to tilling the ground?
During my school days, my Father used to tell me to eat well, sleep, and rest well before reading because he who reads is equivalent to he who till the ground.
This means, reading is not easy and that is why a whole lot of people don’t read or find it difficult to read.
If I may ask, are you among some of us who find it enjoyable to read? If yes, congratulations and if not, do not worry for I will talk about that in my next lesson.
My only advice is for you to form that as a habit because reading is a habit.
For my great readers, we will learn briefly how to write a book out of any book you read.
Not copying the author verbatim. No! Nothing like that. No plagiarism and no-nonsense.
Your concept will be quite different but of the same texture. Ready? Then let’s move ahead…..
STEPS TO FOLLOW:-
1). Choose a book.
2). Bring a pen and a Jotter notebook closer to you.
3). Read the book’s title and all excerpts on the front page.
4). Turn the back of the book and equally read the author’s description. This will give you an insight into what to expect from the book.
5). Open the book and read the Content and introduction. Many people don’t do that. This serves as an usher of what to expect from the book.
6). Now is the time to start reading from chapter one.
While you read ahead, use your pen to mark or circle all the interesting words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that capture your interest. Image description below:
7). How can you craft your chapter from the book’s chapter?
You have read the book the first time and tick-marked all that is interesting.
Then locate a particular sentence within the passage that summarises the interest of that chapter, and paraphrase it to still retain the chapter’s texture but quite different from what the chapter’s title of the book is saying.
Let me leave you with my typical example:
-> I read a book with a chapter title that goes like this: “Chapter 13 = Room For Error.“
-> And I got my title out of it which goes like this; “How should we think about money and plan for the future?”
And you can only think about money and plan for the future by creating room for errors.
Have you understood the twist there? Alright! I guess you did.
This paraphrased title of mine is taken from within the chapter’s content on the second to the last page of the book’s chapter which wrote something like this:
“The most important part of every plan is planning on your plan not going according to plan.”
8). Start reading the chapter for the second time:
Now that you’ve crafted your chapter out of the book’s chapter. Then start reading the passage again for the second time.
This time around read line by line, word by word, sentence by sentence, phrase by phrase, and paragraph by paragraph.
9). Start writing your chapter excerpts from the book:
Start the chapter with a trigger-question sentence to crave the reader’s appetite and bring their problems before them.
Then follow along with a short story that resonates with the chapter. Along the process, align what you read with your write-up by reading a sentence, or paragraph, then pausing to assimilate and transcribe it before panning it down as yours.
Do not rush the process, this is how you will continue sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph until you finish reading the chapter for the second time thereby transcribing it to your tone and language.
10). Prof-read and edit:
After you have finished writing, proofread and edit your work.
This will help you discover errors and words that do not suit your tone and language.
At the end of the whole process, you might have come up with a complete chapter and book that is quite different from what you read but of the same texture and message.
Do this and you will come up with tremendous success in your world of reading and writing.
