How-To: Book Writing

So, you want to write for a living or just as a hobby, or maybe to earn some extra cash, right? Well, whatever the reason is for writing a book sometimes it can be very hard to start. I know it was for me but with these really easy guide lines, you will be on the road to success and writing in no time.

Okay, I know what your saying, "Where do I start?" Right? This book from Barnes and Noble will help you out so much. It helped me out and I refer back to it time and time again for the different novels I write.

Its a workbook but in each chapter it gives you an exercise to help you with the start of your novel. There are questions to help provide you the right key information that you will need to write the best damn book. These questions are laid out so perfectly that anyone can follow along. To write a novel, it starts with an idea and ideas can come from just about anywhere and yes, this also includes dreams. That's why its so important that you write down all of your dreams, you never know it could be the next big thing.

Revisions are also important to consider because you have so many ideas all at once and you may begin to start writing but as the ideas flow off of your head, the story may change. So many authors revise their drafts so many times because it just doesn't fit in well with the story and/or characters. Again, I know this feeling all too well.

There are so many techniques to getting your ideas down on paper but which one? Whatever one that fits your style of writing and that you can understand. That's why there are outlines but with outlines there are so many. For example: Storyboard, Bubbles, Brainstorming, Index Cards, Blocking, Mapping, Lists, etc... Why outlines you say? Because it helps get the ideas down on paper and help you to focus much better.
