Write my first book

I’ve been trying to do this for the past 10 years. But somehow I’ve never manage to finish the first chapter. Sometimes it’s because I’m running out of ideas getting to the second page, sometimes time just envy me, too busy with other happenings in my life. Maybe this year it would be different. Perhaps I could manage my time between house chores, and running to and from school to fetch my kids, to sit for half and hour and write something.. I believe I could. I could.

I want to write my first book, because my dream is become a great autor. Writing a story is for me a exciting feeling.

I’ve been writing for about 10 days now and have tried to write at least 500 words a day.
I decided to total up my writing so far and found I had already written 11555 words.
This is great news as it means if I carry on at this rate I should finish the 125 pages I intend to write (at 350 words a page) in 87 days – meaning I will then have the remaining days to edit and rearrange my book.
At the start I doubted I could finish my book in the time I’d given myself but now I can’t see why I should’nt finish it.

I’ve been thinking about writing a non fiction book on pet loss for about two years but fear of failure and currently having ME have stopped me so far.
This year I want to actually do it and finish my first book by the 25th of May 2008.
I have real difficulty sitting down and actually writing anything even though I’ve done tons of research and feel really motivated, so I’ve decided to just try to write a small amount each day so that it eventually adds up. I’m also listening to motivational hypnosis CD’s and reading other writer’s blogs for inspiration. Wish me luck!

I have decided to consolidate my updates regarding writing on 43things. Please refer to my goal Write a Book for updates. Thanks!

The goal I have is to write and publish a book on mentoring and the different mentors a person comes in contact with over a lifetime.

I have experience and background in starting successful mentoring programs and initiatives for young people now I want to share my personal philosphies and experiences.

I have already started working on this Goal.

I am writing 600 words daily since last 4 days.

i scheduled a 4 month plan for four chapters- i found out that its a faste write-fast read story, and i’m on it.

good luck every one!

I’ve written my first one – and enjoyed it so much I’m now working in 4 at a row!
