Have you ever read a book? and wonder how to write a book?

There is no doubt that you have.

While reading, is there any line that touched your heart?

Or

Perhaps, you felt – this is so me.

If you are a reader, you surely sometimes have these thoughts because a writer is also a reader with regular thoughts and regular feelings like us.

But why do some writers get famous and some don’t?

The main reason is “their voice”.

Here, by the term ‘voice’ we don’t mean the way they speak – but the tone in which they ‘write’.

You can also become a writer and publish a book too, just by following some simple steps and staying consistent.

How To Write A Book: 7 Quick Steps

Writing a book seems challenging and time taking. But with consistent efforts, you can cross this bridge. People will mislead you by saying that writing is easy; anyone can write.

STOP!!

Don’t believe it, because it’s not true.

We don’t want to make you feel scared. But you have to be realistic while deciding your writing goals. It’s not a walk in the park.

When you start writing, you will sometimes face challenges with ideas. On another day, you’ll feel a lack of motivation. Sooner or later, you can also have thoughts like “chuck up the sponge”.

But without rain, you can never bloom.

So if you decide to write a book, firstly think about why some books are your favorite. Why do you always return to reading books by a specific writer?

We know you will say that you can relate to them or their words are heart-touching and easy to understand. They don’t sound bookish and boring. Grab this tip in your hand and start writing, which is our first point.

Write Your Heart Out:

Start with writing the things that come to your mind. Give your thoughts a space to escape.

Write, write and write because this is how you will learn. As a kid, when you start walking, you fall many times. You fall, fall, fall until you fall no more.

You can’t be good at anything without trying it a thousand times.

So, set a goal to write 1000 words per day and set a time in which you practice writing. Slowly and gradually, you will see great changes in your choice of words, the structure of sentences, and the way you write. Moreover, if you want some encouragement, you can show it to your close people, which is our second step.

Share It With Your Friends:

Our greatest motivation is always our close ones. And your friends will always reassure you and tell you the areas where you lack. Therefore, try to share your work with them. You will surely receive accurate feedback.

Or you can post your written work on social media, or if you don’t have friends, you can submit it on online sites that provide book editing services. They also provide suggestions and consultation to the write-ups. But stay ready to receive some negative feedback too, and take them as a booster of improvement.

But if you feel discouraged and out of ideas, then you can take a break and read your favorite book. It will work as a therapy. Moreover, it’s our next step.

Read, Read, And Read:

Reading is a way of visiting a new world of fantasy unless it’s not your type of genre.

Sitting by a window while reading your beloved book with a cup of coffee feels like a cure.

Reading books can also give you ideas to write on. Or it can teach you new words to apply in your next writing. Or it can level your confidence to try more writing styles, reminding us of our coming step.

Try Something New:

Trying a new thing can open gates for exploring yourself.

You can start writing in different styles like expository, descriptive, narrative, daily journal, and letters to loved ones. Or you can experiment with different genres like non-fiction, poetry, or history. Furthermore, you can try to examine more by changing the audience you write for.

As much as you look into various writing aspects, you’ll learn more about your capabilities. As a result, you will become more self-assured. This will help you focus more on your book writing goal.

Identify The Reason:

There is always a reason behind a goal that motivates you. If you want to write a book, find the “why” that encourages you to move forward, or you’ll get bored and quit someday.

What causes you to write a book?

Is it a dream or a passion, or do you want to be as famous as your favorite author?

Find that reasoning, and you’ll never give up.

Know Your Audience:

“How to write a book” is another thing, but first, you have to understand your audience.

Before starting a book, you have to know the needs and values of the people who will read your work. Are they children who want to learn something new? Or are they your close ones who want to get inspired?

Start writing for different audiences, and you’ll get to know for whom you want to write.

Identify your audience, find out why they read something, and then you’ll get more clarity about how to write and what should be the main idea. 

Write In Your Own Way:

In a world full of different people, don’t try to be someone else.

Be yourself and write in your own style. There will be people who want to know your point of view about the world too. So don’t try to copy someone else’s style when you get your own.

Write in a unique way as you are. So, when someone reads your work, he/she will recognize you just by your words.

Conclusion:

What are you still waiting for?

Don’t you want to publish your book too?

We know you want to. So start working on your writing from today, don’t leave it on tomorrow. The above steps on “How to write a book” will surely help you in your dream of writing your own book. Just stay consistent and try, try, try. The world is waiting to hear your voice, and so are we. Therefore be you, be honest with yourself and your readers and write to inspire.
