Writing a Book

[cyclone4L]

Alright, so I've told myself for a long time I really want to write a book. Anyone on here ever done it? Do you have any secrets or tricks that help make the process easier?
TIA

I’ve taken part in a few NaNoWriMo’s (National Novel Writing Month). It’s a grind but I’m so glad to have done it.

The premise is to write the first draft of your novel in the month of November (at least 50,000 words). That is the the first hard part of completing a book.

Best of luck. I would recommend to write the story you like; not the story you think others will like. Feel free to share the draft and we can critique it.

Break it down into a series of smaller essays. A large task is best seen as a series of small tasks.

No idea what you're writing about or how to go about it, but something that always has stuck to me from hearing an author speak at my HS, "To be a good writer, you have to be a good listener". Good luck!
