How do I write a book?

I think it depends on what kind of book you are writing. There are a lot of resources out there to give you the push that you need. For instance, if you want to write a novel, you can take a peek at the website for National Novel Writing Month. Writing a novel in a month might be a bit of a push for someone with a busy life like you, but they provide a lot of free info for aspiring writers. Here is their website: http://www.nanowrimo.org/ A lot of people will try to gauge interest in their books before they are finished. In a publishing class I took, we talked about writing letters to publishers and providing writing samples to see if anyone is interested in your project. Then again, I think that if you are motivated, you should just write because now-a-days there are a lot of ways you can self publish your book. A quick internet search and you will be surprised what you would find. I also think that it would be best to have a more or less complete novel since you are a newer writing when it comes time to look for a publisher. This way they don't have to worry about you being able to produce a complete work. I would also suggest in investing in some books about writing. "Elements of Style" is a must and also some grammer books if you are concerned about that kind of thing. Good luck and have fun, because if the experience isn't a positive one, why bother right?

What sort of book would you like to write? I am starting a course soon at the beginning of May, I have always enjoyed writing even as a small child, but my lack of education has always stopped me, (as you can tell my wording is not very good) but my imagination is, I always made up stories for my children at bedtime, It's not easy writing a book and getting it published, but if its something you feel passionate about, then go for it!!!!!

Wow, good luck on your new endeavor. I have actually written a book and it wasn't the writing that was all that hard, it was getting people to read it. Nowadays, it's a little easier because of the internet because you can self-publish it. But, it's still very hard to get it accepted by publishing houses it and get paid for it. You might want to join Gather.com. That way, you can post your rough draft chapters and have people comment on them. It will help you polish your work for publishers. And, you may even get noticed.

you can copied text from others and edit it and thn articulate on your words and publish.
