3 Quick Tips to Make a Book Idea a Reality

If you have been thinking about writing a book, now is the time to start! Here are three quick tips to put pen to paper and make your dream book a reality!

1. This might sound obvious, but to make your book a reality, you’ll need to actually sit down and write it. A book won’t write itself, so try to carve out time to work on it.

Keep a notebook and pen handy at all times, so when an idea comes to you, you can write it down. This also gives you the chance to work on your book while you’re waiting for something else.

I’m always a few minutes early when picking up my son from school, and you’ll nearly always find me scribbling away while I wait for him.

2. Join a writing group, or start one yourself by putting up a notice at a local library or community center.

This will help you structure your time so you don’t get lazy and put off working on your book. Plus, a writing group will provide feedback on your book, and give you the encouragement you need to keep working.

3. Take a writing class offered by a local adult education program or check out an online course (search “online writing class” and you’ll find a number of programs available).

You’ll learn not only how to improve your writing, but also what to do once you’ve finished your book.
