An Organic Approach to Structuring Your Book
a right-brained alternative to outlines
for people who want to write a book
By Naomi Rose
Book Developer & Creative Midwife / Creator, Writing from the Deeper Self
Looking for a more fulfilling book-writing experience?
Feeling resistant to traditional book-planning and rigid outlines before even starting to write?
Finding it hard to organize your ideas coherently without losing all the juice of your intuitive, creative nature?
say goodbye to rigid outlines
and hello to a way to structure your book
that lets your innate creativity flourish!
YOUR INTUITIVE NATURE IS READY TO HELP
Imagine the joy of writing a book from the bottom up, allowing your ideas to flow effortlessly onto the page in whatever order they come, then translating them into a Table of Contents that reveals the bigger picture. This organic, interactive process frees you from externally imposed constraints, letting your aliveness and internal interest guide you to the next step, and the next, and the next.
This right-brained writing approach works perfectly for people who want to write a book but prefer non-linear book organization.
Whether you already identify as a more right-brained, creative soul—or you don't but would like to bring complementary ease to your more analytical, linear thinking—your intuitive nature is more than ready to help you create a structure that works with you, not against you.
Whether you come to your glimmers by steeping—or by sleeping—whether you find your glimmers in a castle in the air—or by sculpting words in (the equivalent of) clay, not in stone—this approach will delight you with what you find.
What's really stopping you from writing your book? Most often, it's what happens within us—the doubts, the fears, and those inner-critic accusations that can obstruct even the most profound writing from making it onto the page. Yet we long to bring authentic expression to what's in us.
For many people writing their first book (or even their twelfth), traditional book-planning methods don't align with their intuitive way of creating. This one will.
WHAT WRITERS ARE SAYING:
"This is impressive. It's fabulous! You have so much to offer. May your message reach far and wide."
— Murshida Taj Inayat, Sufi Guide
"This book is brilliant! Naomi Rose has created a beautiful and useful product, which doesn't feel generic. The [author's] artwork really works — the graphics feel fresh and inspired. I finally get the author's process when working with clients to form the Table of Contents. As I prepare to write my book, I feel this workbook will really help me."
— Dana Watt, Chaplain, Business Mentor to Spiritual Entrepreneurs
"Unique and original. Very well-developed and explained. This book addresses a real issue. People who are more right-brained can struggle with writing an outline, when it might not be appropriate for them to do so. Naomi Rose is really brilliant at combining both non-linear and cognitive intelligences — espousing a right-brained approach, but explaining it very clearly, including giving an example from her own writing. I'm very impressed!"
— Ralph Dranow, author: A New Life: Poems and At Work on the Garments of Refuge (with Daniel Marlin)

Struggling to come up with an outline isn’t the only way to discover what your book has it in it to be.
Instead, you can receive "glimmers" from within that spark your creative process. Writing them down and seeing how they weave together lets you evolve your TOC organically.WHAT DOES THE TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THIS BOOK LOOK LIKE?
The Table of Contents, below, wasn't outlined at the outset. Instead, it evolved through glimmers and linkings—and once it was sufficiently woven, it became the draft of a TOC. Sometimes it also worked the other way around: once something emerged and was put into the TOC, it might birth ideas for further chapters, headings, and parts. So it's an interactive process.
Here's the Table of Contents that evolved during the writing of this book (you can see behind the scenes when you read the book):
ISN’T IT TIME TO WRITE THE BOOK THAT’S CALLING YOU
WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE YOURSELF PUT IT TOGETHER?
