So what goes into writting a book, can anyone do it, ive been wanting to do many things for a while but i think sense i was a kid i wanted to write a book or even a short story or something that i can publish. the thing is i have major dylexia, i tend to not plan things and instead write on the spot, also i have partiall ideas. i dont want to write fanfic but instead i want to do something more orginal. i was told i was a creative writter as a kid but im not sure about now.
im not even sure if writting a book is worth it or not i raley even read but yet i feel like something is missing in life. is there by chance a good youtube video that explains all of this?
Write something at first; maybe use one of your partial ideas and really concentrate on making something small, but good. Now, put that away somewhere out of the way, but still accessible.
Now, write something else entirely. Maybe another small project. Keep going. Write more. Do a little writing each day, and in between, read stuff written for different audiences. Read MLK’s “Letters from a Birmingham Jail.” Read some sci-fi. Read a comic book. Read a boring, dry report about something. Absorb, then write again.
Now, after a month or so, maybe two, pull out the first thing you wrote. It will give you a good gauge of the progress you’ve made. And you might hate what you wrote, and that’s OK, as long as you realize that the first thing you wrote is the floor, and you’re only going to get better from that point on. Finally, plan! Sometimes creative genius can come out of the ether, but it’s best to plan and not rely on that happening. Give yourself a destination and rough idea of how you’ll get there. Then let the wind take you.
Best of luck, and enjoy!
