Preparing for the project

Here I stand.....having formally and decidedly announced that I'd be undertaking the project of writing a book titled "Shaken Earth & Fallen Marine". The project is so big, or even burdensome, that sometimes it scares me. My problem, however, is that I can't settle in small play. Even more serious problem with me is that I am very good and innovative and promising during the inception phase of any project but then I start to flicker; I wither. Here lies the present crisis of my life.
This has to change.
While I began this entry by suggesting the imminence and possible challenge facing the project, I have landed on the battlefield. I may feel afraid and decide to flee, which further weakens me and I get slain before I can exit this trap. Therefore, I might rather give my unwavering commitment and efforts for the big cause that I'm working for. Peripheral problems might never stop arising, not only in my life, but in the life of virtually everyone. Thousands of people are being killed in shootings, accidents, bombings, and crimes. I've lived in this earth for almost quarter century now and I've not even suffered a bone fracture! The earthquake as big as 7.9 in Richter Scale left me unscathed. While billions of people right this moment are struggling to have enough food and shelter to survive, I have aplenty. I really have so many things which billions of people in the world only dream about and still I seem to be fearful and unhappy about this all. If I am unhappy and fearful, if I am ungrateful, my suffering will have no end. My problem, also, is that I seem to be too worried about the result while not giving my 100%.
The reason I am talking this all on my Idea Lab blog is because for doing justice to the project and to perform up to my potential, I must first acquire a mindset or psychological condition conducive and efficient for giving my hundred percent to the project.
While I will definitely come up with a manuscript  in a couple of months, more important thing to give the project life is getting it published. Obviously, whether the book gets published is determined by how good I write. If I write a great work the humanity would love to read, then my book will not only publish, it will sell in hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies.

With all these things in mind, let me come to the real point.
How do I get started?
What do I write?
Will it be entirely true stories/story or the fictionalized version of the reality?
What are my sources and resources? How long do I plan to write?
Will it be an anthology of independent stories or several intertwined stories presented as a novel?
What will be the philosophy that I want to deliver to the world via this book?

Well, as discussed in previous entries, I should rather make it a novel with several intertwined stories.
Within a couple of days I have to come up with a unified plot on which I want to expand my book.
