Everyone wants to write a book, but very few people actually do it. It’s the kind of thing you either want to do or you don’t. If you really want to write a book then you can do it. In fact, it’s easier than you think, but it does take some planning.
Here’s a guide we’ve prepared for the newbies.
Motivate Yourself
Motivate yourself, get rid of the thought of not being able to finish! Make a plan, start writing. What is your story? Are you really skilled at telling your story? The first step is to decide on the subject of your book. Design the introduction, development, and conclusion sections well.
Set Goals
Set a writing goal. How much time will you spend in a day writing a book and how much will you be able to write? A paragraph? Three paragraphs? One page? Stick to your goal.
You can choose a different space/place to bring your book to life, or you can continue writing in the same place every day. That should be your “book writing area”. Calculate the number of words; Decide which category your book will fall into. Will the book you want to write be a short story? For this, an average of 10 thousand words is required, which means about an hour of reading time. However, a long novel is more than 100 thousand words, which requires at least 8-10 hours of reading time. What kind of book do you want to write? You have the answer to this question.
Write Regularly
Just as doing a job on a regular basis will ensure that it is completed both on time and as it should be. Writing a book, or more precisely producing a book, is also a disciplined job. You cannot complete your book disconnected from a world you have created or will create. That’s why you should get used to writing regularly.
Avoid grammatical errors. Even if you do a very good editing, grammatical errors will alienate the reader from the book! If that’s what bothers you the most, you can just turn to the book writing services.
Get Inspiration
You can get help with your book from publisher editors or authors. You can consult experts for new ideas and enrich your book. You need to know when you’ll get your book done before start writing it. The finishing time is important because you continue to write and the book never ends!
Failure is also a possibility! At the very least, you will gain experience in writing a book. As a result, many books are published in different categories, but well-known authors are among the first to reach the sales target. The possibility of failure should not cause you to give up writing a book.
Develop Dramatic Structure
Imagine that you are writing a promotional newsletter or back cover letter to your novel. Write this down. Read this summary or article you wrote from time to time and check how well your work fits with it. If there are any parts of the promotion or your novel that are not good for you, identify them and take precautions while writing them.
Keep the Dialogues As Natural As Possible
It is important that the dialogues, which are two people talking to each other, are natural. For this, you can eavesdrop on other people’s conversations and observe. You can also read the dialogues in your work aloud and ask, “Do people really talk like that among themselves?” search for an answer. (As most great writers do, it would be much better if you read the entire work aloud to yourself before sending it to print, catch the sound of the work and make the necessary interventions before printing)
Get Feedback Either Negative or Positive
It is valuable if what you write is read. So first of all, get support from your environment. Ask people to read your book or novel. No matter how negative or harsh the feedback you get, don’t be upset about it. In fact, stay away from people who just say “it’s great” and don’t give constructive feedback. Consider every feedback, but don’t accept it all! Everyone has a different opinion. One might love what you write, while the others may not.
