Book Writing Tips

Writer's block!

Have you ever gotten stuck writing a book? You can’t come up with new ideas and you keep

losing the motivation to write at all?

Well, you’re not the only one we all have heard the statistics that 81% people want to

become writers, but only 1% of them actually do. And about 3% of the aspiring writers finish

writing their first book and 20% of them get it published.

You wouldn’t want to be one of those who only dream about becoming successful writers but

never finish a book, would you?

Imagine having written a book and being able to tell people that “I am the author of this book,” people will have more respect

for you and you will be taken more seriously in your field.

Starting writing:

The first step obviously is to start writing, but before that, you must first decide what you are

going to write about and how you will write it.

Staying motivated:

Know that you will get distracted or overwhelmed and might not want to continue writing,

plan ahead to face and overcome if such a situation occurs.

Finishing writing:

You can’t become a writer by just starting a book; you must finish writing what you have started.  

How to get started?

·         Decide what you will write about

·         Set a goal – I will write 300 words a day

·         Make a schedule and set a time – I will work on my book at 5 pm

·         Dedicate a specific place for writing away from all distractions

Here are a few extra tips to ensure a smooth writing process:

·         Let go of all the excuses for not writing a book – focus on the bigger picture how finishing

your first book will boost your confidence.

·         Establish a writing space that puts you in the zone to write and feel inspired. Have all of

your writing tools assembled there.

·         Construct an overall outline and structure.

·         Break your overall project into small bits and start by writing short paragraphs.

You can write a book keeping in mind these simple practices. What do you want your book to be about?
