How to write a book
It made me
Fantastic
 "Brilliant, I love reading but writing is better"
How I did it: You need a great idea first then you need a writing plan that is realistic. Decide how many words you want in your book (a novel is 50,000) there will be roughly 400 a page. So check how long a page will take you and you can figure out the time needed. Most of all you need to be motivated to write, if you don't enjoy the process you will probably give up. If you do you will make the time to do it. Lessons & tips: Get someone close to you who will be brutaly honest to critique your work. Its no good people being nice if you can't write (unless you are just doing this for fun). But choose a genre they like, its also no good asking your partner to critique SciFi if she never reads it. I deliberately chose a genre my wife liked for this purpose. Don't rely on a vanity publisher to critique your work but normal publishers should be fine. There's nothing wrong with vanity publishing just don't rely on them for that. Resources: If you want to write with others their is a collaborative book project where all the writers will share the royalties. That's good because you can share ideas and the workload is less. Not a bad idea for the first published work to get you started. All done online. www.amazonclicks.com for details. Look for 'The Book' press release. Don't worry too much about typos, crack on with the story, your editor will sort all that out. Good luck!

kolyssa is happy
How I did it: In 5th grade I came up with the idea. I wrote down notes on every scrap paper and napkin and filled notebooks with my thoughts for the plot. I would sit for hours at my desktop computer and just type away. I finally finished the book in 7th grade. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It's not worth doing for the money (so far anyway) but it does feel good having written it. The book is a guide for teachers on how to use IWBs effectively and it covers basically everything someone would want to know on the subject. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had started while married, and began writing a satirical piece that spoke all the things I loved to laugh about. I was about 200 pages in, when my marriage began to go south, very far south. Without going into too much detail, I walked away with the cleanest of consciences, but that doesn't mean it didn't affect me.Nearly two years after the divorce, I was finally able to pick up, catch up to my place, and get the final chapters finishe… Read how I did it…
hhdavid is working on the second draft of my first novel.
How I did it: NaNoWriMo, baby! I just went to the site and signed up. I started writing on Nov. 1st and didn't stop until Nov. 30th. I wrote 1667 words or more every day. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just wrote study note on mathematics formula for my Management Studies Entrance Exam . Then I made a copy of that document into book . It really helpful book on aptitude test as well as It is freely available on Internet Read how I did it…
Dani is in love with Fridays.
I usually participate in NaNoWriMo, but this semester, I’ve just been too busy with classes and work. Maybe I’ll do my own little personal novel writing month one day this summer and knock out this goal. Again.
I’ve wanted to write since I was little, but have not written anything for a while and I would like to get started again.

I still want to do it very much but I realise it’s a step too far right now. In order to achieve it I need to work on my self image and creativity in general and hopefully then I shall resurrect this goal and work on it actively.
So for now it’s being shipped quietly onto the given up list and will be replaced by a more generic goal celebrating my soon-to-be-rediscovered Creative Self!!
thedigitalartist is designing books.
How many times have I started writing a book? I’ve lost count. But I’m working on an outline, and, realizing that it’s difficult, gave myself a pep talk. If it were easy, anyone could do it! I soldier on.

mustlovestories anxious
ok, i’ve been on this book for 2 years now. Still on it. Thing is, many parts of the book were unexpected, not that i mind, its just that sometimes i worry my book will end up too long, or not making much sense. Ok, i dont think im making myself clear. truth is i’ve just come back from a very long, and very painful writers block. not fun. and im trying to take it slow, you know, one page at a time. problem is, i know im better at beginning things rather than finishing them, i also know that all these new ideas are growing old in my head, but i think they’re really good and i want to put them in a published book and everything, but i want to finish this one first.
word of advice, anyone?

I want to write book related my special personalities.
DidyJayRudiano is in constant quest
Started to write a fiction. I’ve got lots of ideas but I feel i ‘m lacking something…my style is a bit journalistic when I write in English. I seem to be able to be more creative in French. I’m just a bit boring in English. Anywho. I’ll keep at it, get the story out first then try and beautify it thereafter…
