After contributing with some posts and to meet the hurried inclusion in the bucket list of writing a book, I now want to move forward on writing a book.
I have in the meantime come across a few friends who have the item in the list but don’t know how to go about it, like I don’t know.
I want a group of such friends to jointly brainstorm. I am sure a better person will come and take over as head of the group and till then I am the pro term president.
Kindly join
And we have several very talented people to guide us. Please bless us.
One such talented friend asked me to buy a notebook to start with.
Here it is

lol I know absolutely nothing and don’t have a burning desire to write a book but this is something I read yesterday …

Sir, pen is missing. Just include it and the pages will be soiled by its ink.

I can say from personal experience(All laid out in my blog) that I wanted to write a book for years… too many years… after a conversation with my husband that led him to say “Why not?” I got thinking, and the next day I sat down and wrote my very first sentence. “No Joe, I don’t believe in superheroes.” That is no longer the first sentence of the book, but I just decided to go for it. My sincerest and most valuable advice is: just do it, and more importantly don’t tell anyone(Family and friends especially) that you are writing until you’re either finished or know you will finish. Once other people get involved the most straightforward question can completely throw you off your groove. Even the simplest comment or question can make you question yourself. Why? Because when you’re writing you are pouring your heart and soul out and you are at your most vulnerable. SO! Go and let the words in your head take you on a journey.

Regarding publishing, it’s a whole other ballgame. Do not even worry about it until you are done writing your book. I have a lot of information on my blog about editing, revising, the types of publishing out there and I’m happy to answer any questions.
