Advices On How To Write A Book

By Rebecca Long


Writing is not the kind of passion that comes to everyone. So, you are advised to make the most out of your gift. The hardest part is just in the beginning. Once you have gone past the fear, you can already follow the tips below. There would be a lot of trials but you can soon surpass all of them.

Do not pressure yourself into writing a whole chapter in a day. The road to how to write a book must be in a smooth flow and a smaller quantity of words will be a good place to start. Thus, set at three hundred words or until you run out of ideas. Train yourself for you to be able to rely on your own skills when your editor is not around.

Have an outline for where you want your story to go. A book is not an artwork that you could just put anything you want. You still have to make everything connect to one another so that your readers would not feel disconnected. This can also prevent your work from getting rejected right away.

You must follow a certain pattern to your writing time. You could start at any time of the day but choose between night and day. This can help set your biological clock and give you the energy to write a story which has never been thought of. Your uniqueness is what will make you stand out among all other authors.

You should have a secret spot for your writing time. This will keep your work away from privy eyes when it is not yet finished. It is important for you to stick with your original concept for you not to face any plagiarism lawsuit. This can also make you proud that you have invented this plot all on your own.

Have a specific word count. Remember that readers somehow expect each chapter to be in the same length. This also gives more order in the book. With this style, editors would see the potential in you since you have already taught yourself with the basics. They would most likely invest on a writer who can be independent.

Have deadlines every week. This is already on your personal progress. As a writer, the greatest enemy you have is your laziness. If you would not put enough pressure on yourself, you shall start to treat your job for granted thinking that you still have more time to finish your chapters.

You must welcome constructive criticism with open arms. However, find something to do while you are still waiting for the feedback. You can start conceptualizing again or you can decide to go out and be exposed to the actual world once again.

Finish the first draft and send it right away. It does not matter if you do not get a reply soon enough. Use this as your motivation to write a better novel. The key to success in this field is for you to never stop trying in letting your story be read.
