![]() Ok, you’re thinking- “Don’t worry, I know why I want to write a book. Solidifying the purpose of fueling your book will carry you through this difficult process. It requires emotional labor, long nights (or early mornings), extended weekends, and facing a constant self-critical process that is unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Writing a book is rewarding, but it requires hard work. Remember most likely you’ll want to approach this as a writing career rather than a single book you put out. It might take writing a blog post to begin a journey that has you self-published in less than a year. Before you put pen to paper, you need to know your purpose. It’s not enough to have an inspiring book idea. Step 1: Find Your “Why” for Writing a Bookīefore you open your laptop and start daydreaming about which photographer should take your best-selling author headshot, or about getting interviewed on Oprah, you need to answer one question: They will make the rest of your book-writing experience much, much easier, and more satisfying. Take it from me-it’s worth your time to complete these steps. This is one of the most frequently overlooked steps in becoming a published author, which is a big reason why so many people fail to finish their books. It’s so much more about being organized with the same structure and writing voice for the particular story they need to tell. Successful writers know, before your write a single word simply writing and getting words to flow isn’t the hard part. Ready to learn how to write your first book and go from blank page to published author in just 90 days? Then let’s get started! Phase 1: Think Like a Writerīefore you sit down and type a single word, it will pay off if you take some time to address a few attitude questions and adopt the right mindset. Every successful writer-from William Shakespeare to Walt Whitman to Stephen King-began by staring at a blank page. Remember that all authors have been exactly where you are right now. Take a deep breath (but no more coffee, you’ve had enough).
