How To Start Writing A Book
Having fears about writing a book is actually very common. Maybe it’s because you don’t know where to start. Or, you don’t know how to structure a book. Or, it’s because the steps to getting published seem so daunting.
However, one thing to keep in mind is not to get stuck in “analysis paralysis.” Don’t spend time too much time thinking and debating about how to start writing a book. Instead, just do some proper research and preparation, and you’ll find that you too can discover how to write a book with more ease and confidence.
For some extra motivation and in-depth information when it comes to writing a book, I highly recommend you see my blog post, Why Should You Write a Book? (3 Reasons You Should, Even If You’re Not a Writer).
Maybe you have ambitions to write a book, but you’re short on ideas.
I know that when I have good book writing ideas stirring around, I usually sit down with a blank piece of paper and lay out the entire book on paper without reference to any resource material.
For some people, this is the easiest way. However, I understand that you may need to spend a little more time gathering the proper book writing ideas, and getting inspiration.
If that’s the case, I highly recommend starting with a simple book writing template, like the 6-Step Book Planning Worksheet I share with you at the top of this page. It’s a clear-cut, fill-in-the-blank worksheet that can get the ball rolling, help you clarify your thoughts and ideas, and get you in the right frame of mind before you put pen to paper.
If you still feel pressed for ideas after going through my fill-in-the-blank worksheet, feel free to check out my blog, How to Start Your Book: Choosing a Winning Message.
