The best place to begin is to play around with different ideas in your head,
and then to create a list of chapters that you would like your book to have.

I have written a 350 page e-book about effective long term weight loss, and
am currently polishing the last chapters. It has 18 chapters, and took me
about two years to write.

I had an offline business when I started writing, but also had a desire to start
an online business in the weight loss niche

currently as you see I am creating a site using SBI, and within two months
will start selling it on my site, and also through Clickbank and a few other
sites that have affiliates that sell your e-book through their sites on a
commission basis

the ultimate way to create a book is from scratch, start like an artist starts
with a blank canvas, and play around with different visions of your end
result when you finish writing your book

write some pages like artists make sketches of their paintings to get a feel
for what feels right and what does not feel right

eventually you will form a vision, where from all of your ideas and concepts
you will choose *one* that feels exactly right, and then you can spend as
much time as you have daily to bring this vision into reality

Good Luck and Take Care
