Book writing for beginners

I always wanted to be a book writer, from the time I learned how to read. Especially, because I grew up right next door to our local library. As a volunteer at the library, I read everything I could possibly get my hands on. It was an escape from reality. As the years past before me, I knew I had to finally make my dream as a professional writer come true. So, after my son joined the military, I knew I would finally make it happen! I began writing several children’s books. So, my advise is to not let life pass you buy, and start now! Just start writing each and every day, little by little. Make yourself an outline. Write about the things you love and enjoy. Maybe you want to write about going to the moon one day or having a brother or sister or your love of cooking. Whatever it is, just start by mapping your ideas out on a piece of paper. Be as creative as you like! Then, go back over it and put your sentences in paragraph form. Now, start to edit your story to the very best that you can. Have your parents, friends or teachers correct it for you. I definitely recommend hiring an editor to do this for you, because this is their profession. They do this on a daily basis and are there to help you. You will have days when you feel overwhelmed, or frustrated, but just keep pushing through! Never give up! Stay motivated! Think about the outcome and how good you will feel, when people buy your books, because they really enjoy reading your work. You can also self-publish your books on Amazon and Kindle. What are you waiting on? Don’t let life pass you buy! You can do it! Here are a few really great books I would recommend to help you:

Good luck and happy writing!
