Sorry, but I'm not downloading anything to my computer unless I know exactly what it is and that it is virus free and I will not take your word for it.

Can you put the downloaded article here please and not the download itself?

I would be happy to offer guidance on your opening sentences, Simon.
'I am attempting to write  book' should be 'I am attempting to write a book', followed by a full stop.
In the second part of the sentence you used the phrase, 'its name is going to be called PURPOSE: Thoughts and poetry'. You can either say 'Its name will be...' or 'It is going to be called...'; combining the two expressions is clumsy.
After the word 'poetry' you have a full stop. This should be followed by a capital letter: 'poetry. This first part...'
Full stop required after 'quotes'.
'build up to the my poems' should be 'build-up to my poems' (no 'the' required).
The word 'Opions' doesn't exist. I couldn't guess whether it was supposed to be 'Options' or 'Opinions'. Still not quite sure what the sentence means.

So, the revised version should be something like:
'I am attempting to write a book. Its name will be 'PURPOSE: Thoughts and Poetry'. This first part is more quotes. I need your opinion to see if this is a good build-up to my poems, which will follow. Opinions: I have the download link at the top.'

Hope this helps, and I would suggest more careful checking in future.
PS: For American readers, 'full stop' = 'period'.
