If you want to write a book first thing you got to do is know your language right and cut out any SMS talks because a lot of people these days who write SMS words all the time don't know that some of their words are from another country! Can you actually believe that? If not then you should know the word Da = An, in Italian! So, you should really be careful at what kind of words you use when writing SMS talks on Facebook, MySpace, Bebo or any other website when you very well know, it's free and cheaper than mobile texting.
Some people take our English for granted and when they do it gets a message sent through the world that English is just a language we take for granted. Sure we take out language for granted a lot, but there are so many people out there who want to learn English because it sounds like a fun thing to learn and it's the second-biggest language in the world! Now, wouldn't you stand proud of that? Sure, some people say our first language is Hebrew, but I cannot wonder why people stuff up our languages when talking to their friends on the Net?
English has been around for 500 years and I say, if you're bored with the language then why not help yourself to learning a whole new another one? I am no expert at teaching but I do know what it's like to grow up with one language all your life without learning a completely new one when you plan to head overseas for your birthday or to see family of whom you've never met before in your entire lives! All I'm saying is, please do not take our English language like it is trash and turn every word into SMS talk when there is always room to type out the whole word when talking to one of your friends. I see young teenagers these days who are already learning how to write SMS on phones and that is fine, but when it comes to school to write by hand or type it up onto the computer, it goes a little too far. Next minuet everyone is talking in SMS to their friends who are sitting right next to them but if you write normal English, your friend could be surprised at how much you can do and write and be quick at replying to his/her talks!
You do not need to write SMS talks everywhere you go when you got a notepad and a pen sitting in your hand or bag, whenever you're out and about in town with your friends or family! All I'm saying is, write SMS on your phone but when it comes to emails on your desktop or laptop computer and searching the Net on there, drop the SMS stuff and get back to where you started! You got taught how to speak English in a good, normal way and now you can use it when using a desktop or laptop computer.
A lot of youths today are too lazy to write normal English on their computers they've got one at home and school, but I find it very hard to believe, today, that writing full English words on your computer or in a hand-written notebook a hard thing to do when you've always got time on your hands! If you are in a rush then yes, by all means, write a few «quick» SMS words but be sure when it comes to writing a letter or assignment you get from school, you need to change all that and get back to where you started out -- writing and speaking mordern English!
A lot of people these days, who are old enough to be our grandparents, find it hard to stay up to date with all this SMS talks that's being going around for a while, so you may want to go on easy on them when explaining what it all means and how it works out. Because, if you want to be an Author you got have a good knowledge of how well our language works and how well you use it when you first start out to writing your first book. I get a lot of compliments from people who I met online say I have a good reply ability because I know how to type well on the computer without looking down at the keyboard for help!
So, to write a book, you need to have a good knowledge and ability about the language you learned or grew up with, if you enjoy writing! If you enjoy writing full words on a piece of paper then you got a everything at your feet for writing a book about anything that you can possibly imagine! To write a book it does take a lot of imagination but may also require a little going out into the world to see what you can add to your story. I've been doing my best to go out heaps to add different things to my book and so far, it's all turning out quite all-right. I enjoy writing because it makes me feel good about myself, as I've accomplished something big and earned it for the right reasons!
I hear people say they want to be a writer but get teased for choosing such a great career, when others laugh because they are jealous. If you enjoy writing to become a best-selling author, wouldn't you do anything just to reach that goal of being «that» someone? I've read a lot of good books about life and it's amazing to read about someone who you thought would never exist in a book, until he/she comes to life when the book hits the shelves in the bookstore! Have you heard of Margaret Clarke? She has a great talent for writing and I've read her well-known books such as No Fat Chicks, Rave On, Hold My Hand or Else, Hot or What, plus even a bit of Hooking Up.
They are all good books and if you haven't heard of Margaret Clarke then head over to your nearest library to see what kind of books she has written for her passion. They are all Australian stories, Margaret Clarke has wrote and you will be inspired at how she now writes fulltime!
