Got a Book Idea? Now What?

If you have a great idea for a book, here are a few tips to get started and make it a reality:

Keep a notebook handy.
This way, you can jot down ideas or words that you come across and would like to use at some point. Maybe you just need to get the idea down on paper and later will have time to think about how you want to use it?

Set aside some time each day to work on your book.
Maybe you’ll be able to write a paragraph a day, maybe you’ll be able to write a page or two a day – At the end of a year, you will have something to show for it.

Visit your local library to find resources for budding authors.
Do online research to find support for writers. And perhaps you can join a writer’s group to inspire and encourage you.

The point is to take action. You can make your book a reality, but it’s up to you to take the necessary steps to make it happen!
