Did you ever dream of being called an AUTHOR? Every day on social media or among our network we find so many people writing a book, is that easy. Let’s try to dive deep into a step wise process and see if it’s easy.
Finding the inspiration behind writing the book, the WHY?
Selection of the genre
This is the most important step without which we can’t even start. It's very important to understand the WHY, the purpose, the motive, or the inspiration behind writing a book. It could be just to share your thoughts with the world, it could be to share your feelings, your opinion concerning some topic, it could be just a hobby, it could be stress-reliever, it could be to show the world that you can achieve your dreams or it could be even just a simple reason to be able to recognized by google. Whatever the reason is, there has to be a “why” to write the book.
There are various genres like Fantasy, Romance, Adventure, Contemporary, Dystopian, Mystery, Horror, Thriller, Paranormal, Historical fiction, Science fiction, memoir, self-help, and many more, but we don’t want to choose what others like, what’s popular, what’s trending rather we should choose what genre we love writing or what genre we love reading. Choose one or a combination of two or three max.
Outline of the book
Disciplined Planning
You can’t just start writing the book and wait every day for the creativity box to open and convert them into words. You need a plot, a setting, characters, location, conflict, turning point, climax, and resolution. Once your brief outline is ready then start the inside planning and detailing.
If you decide one day that you will choose a quiet place amongst nature, take a vacation for a week and finish the book there, this rarely happens. For writing a book it’s very important to follow a disciplined approach. A fixed day, time, and space works wonders. It could be sometimes that during that time, nothing comes to mind, you feel blank, but still be on the date with your writing during that time. Reading, researching, thinking, planning, talking to characters, visualizing is all a part of the writing process.
