Is writing your passion? Well, everybody knows that to become a bestselling author you're going to need to start by reading other books so you get the idea of how it's all set out. I'm reading a book called, Looking for Alibrandi, to get ideas on writing my novel and it really does help, if you're fresh out of ideas! A lot of people who cannot write properly needs to know to improve on that type of basic skill in case they do change their minds of wanting to become a writer. First of all, you don't need a license to get started! Anyone can write a book and get it published to a well-known company and see their books hitting the shelves! All you need to do is have a good imagination that will help you succeed in writing your first novel. Yes, you can have the ability to go publish your very own book and have it sitting in the bookstores within six months! A lot of people these days who want to write a book are always asking if you need a license to get started, but truth is, you can start writing you first book from scratch. You can pick up an old exercise book that's been lying around the house for a while, find a pen and start thinking up a great story to put all together! It is that easy to start writing your first novel.
If you do ever get stuck on something while writing your book, take a break and go do something creative. Then you come back to continue working on your book. All in all, to publish a book you can start from small and work your way up to the big books! I know some people who publish their first book it's a children's book or a small teenage novel, such as Margaret Clark's teenage novel series, who has published over five books for young adults these days. I've read three of them out of seven and it made me think twice about what I really want to do with myself. No, I don't want to work 9-5 for the rest of my life, living off paycheck to paycheck -- I want more than that! I want to write books! I want to read books! I need to write a book in order to make myself a better person so I'm able to approach new people with confidence and heart! Using the word, want, can make you feel rather greedy, but if you try using the word, need, more often you'll feel so much better about yourself and you're preventing yourself from being selfish. It's like walking into a job interview and you're asked, "Why do you want this job"? you would re-think that question twice before answering, right? Instead of answering what the employer asked you, change the word from want to need!
It is that simple. And to write a book to get it published for people to enjoy and connect, you want to write something that can inspire them to be whoever they want to be. If you're after writing a young adult novel then try putting yourselves in teenager's shoes. You might be in your mid-twenties and choose to write a young adult book to inspire young people who are always getting hurt and treated like trash, a whole new world if you write them this book! A lot of teenagers are seeking answers to do something in their lives. As I said before, I read a few Margaret Clark's young adult novels and they've helped me heaps -- to write a book of my own or be good at deciding what kind of path I should take while still growing up. I knew writing a book takes a lot of time and patience and becoming a bestselling author doesn't happen overnight, either. It takes time and to come up with a good story relating to one thing, but keeping the plot to the point, can be hard because a lot of people get easily distracted these days, some writers are still living with their families and it can get a bit hectic and crowded in the house when there are more than five people! So, to concentrate on your story well, you need to be situated in a quiet place or try setting up your own office...vero? If you have your own office then at least make sure you got a door to keep the noise out of what's happening outside of your square....everybody needs quiet in their life!
It's amazing how a lot of people I hear and see turn their passion to writing. Some of them have part-time jobs they like to keep, some of them have casual jobs where they can spend just a little bit more time writing their books. Me, I don't have a job -- fulltime or part-time. I'm happy being on the dole (youth allowance) where I get $275p/f, here in my small rural hometown! I like to keep it that way for a little while longer and when I do publish my book I can, hopefully, sell millions of copies of them as soon as they hit the bookstores! I really do enjoy writing novels about all kinds of things that are happening in our world today, at the same time make them up so I'm not scaring young adult these days about things I know and hate. In my book that I am writing now, I do add funny bits to it so I can make people laugh. My book is sort of based on my life, something about me, but still needs a bit more work done to it before hitting the shelves.
So, if you're willing to write a book, why not start now by picking up a book and have a read through it and then you can start writing away! It's really that easy and you don't need a license to get started! All you need is a pen and a pad then you are good to go. Writing your first book can be an exciting experience because you're using your own imagination about anything you can think of to make readers connect to your book! Your happy ending can end continuous or stopped -- either way! I read Hot or What, written by Margaret Clark and how the book ends is continuous, because the book is written in first person.
Whatever you do, have fun writing your novel and make sure you make it sound exciting for the reader to connect as soon as it hits the shelves!
