Concretize means to make something concrete rather than abstract. Concrete in this case meaning 'existing in material form' not a mix of sand and cement.Actually getting on and writing your story, as opposed to just day dreaming about seeing it in a bookshop, will concretize your brilliant idea into something you can submit for publication.
Concretize may also be spelled as concretise.
(This is an old photo of the booksigning for my first ever published book. It's now available in a newer edition.)

Bet you'll never forget the events of your first book though!
My brain is concretized or concretised.
Yes, well, quite! I've only recently realised I must stop day-dreaming and get the thing written. :)
Hi Patsy,
Thank you for spelling it in both versions. A good, concrete post. Nice pose in the photo.

Not the prettiest of words, but it does the job.
Ypu're right there. Alex.
I've experienced that feeling, Oscar. Hope it's only temporary for you.
It's easy to make more plans than progress, Susan.
Actually, I only had the version with the Z to start with, but an online friend pointed out my omission.
It looks like a very cumbersome word to use in a sentence, though.
Cannot think of a place I would use it, but nice word. I'm with Oscar and my brain
Hard to drop in casually I agree, Annalisa.
Keep it moving then, Neil. That seems to stop cement from setting.
I think we know who Channel 4 will be calling if Susie Dent ever pulls a sicky!
I suspect she's far too conscientious for that!
