YOU WANT TO WRITE A BOOK SO READ ON!

There are many ways to write something, albeit short tales or novels. But where do you start?

Yes, I was once in that conundrum so here is how my life changed when I started on the journey to become an author.

Being able to write a business letter was easy, but at least I had a foothold on the first rung of my destiny.

Yet, if you read books, or newspapers, you already have trod on the first rung of the author ladder. I did, and I was hooked. But, could you do it? Yes, you can. And here’s how.

Let’s say you have an idea, but hadn’t a clue how to type it and make sense. You are not alone as nearly everyone feels the same way. So, this is what you do.

You should now be looking at the 3 ways to start your first tale. It should have a beginning, a middle, and a finale. The first one sets the scene, the second enhances it, and the third neatly brings all the loose ends together. But there is more, for if the ending is nigh, you must pull all the loose ends together and finish with, THE END.

Here is an example.

The air was stale with the stench of rotting meat and old blood.

But I didn’t care.

I would kill the beast in its lair, and save the villagers.

I had set the scene.

My old lantern was showing me the way, throwing light into darkness.

I held my sword tightly as I moved closer to the sounds of deep breathing.

I took a quick look around the corner, and there it was.

The creature slept.

Blood was dripping from its huge mouth.

It was hideous.

I edged forward.

The thing moved.

The reader is hooked.

I hit my head.

Ouch!

“Cut! We’ll have to do that again, you idiot.”

The clever ending.

As it’s doubtful anyone saw it coming.

Let’s move on.

Writing is a drug, naturally a good one, for it makes you use your brain which becomes open to any ideas you may have dreamt of, seen on TV, or read from another author’s work.

And as I have shown you what you can do, and how to do it, it is time for you to, START WRITING SOMETHING SMALL. That has always been my mantra, so why not yours?

THE END? NOT QUITE

Inside everyone’s brain is the ability to think and absorb information. And that information is used in many ways. From driving a car, to flying in the air for a holiday, you are constantly using your brain. So, why am I suggesting this works for a potential writer, or indeed those already starting on their long route to be a published author?

It's because your brain will open up, blow away the mists of time, and guide you on an adventure you will never forget.

As I stated before, we all have tales to tell both true, or not.

Fiction or non-fiction? No matter which one, as you’re the writer now.

Can you do it?

YES YOU CAN
