#HOW TO WRITE A BOOK

How many times have I heard - "I'm thinking of writing a book. Do you think that I can publish it in about six months from now?" There are even people who claim that they can teach you how to have your book written in 90 days. Crazy idea! Use successful authors as your example and do it right. Most highly successful authors take two or three years to write a book.

Even before you start writing your book, take an entry level university English class. Following that, take some creative writing courses. You may even start writing your book during the education process because you don't want to lose your creative ideas, but the writing process will be so much easier if you have good writing skills. Your writing style will also be hugely improved with some coaching.

The writing process is long. Your mind needs sufficient time to think of ideas, and then think of those ideas time and again. There is always a different way to say anything. After reading your material over and over, a better way to express your thoughts may pop up. It may even happen in your sleep as your subconscious mulls over what you have put onto paper (or into your computer).

It is a good idea to put your writing aside periodically. Don't think about it for a few days before you review what you have written. It's amazing how errors, omissions and new ideas flash into into your mind when you read something after taking a break from all of the thoughts that are swirling inside.

Take your time when writing a book. You want the book to be the best it can be. There is a lot of competition out there so be a perfectionist - it will pay off.
