Some people like to write a book just because they have a deep, heartfelt passion for it. Others wish to write a book because they enjoy the challenge. Others write books because they want to make a name for themselves.
And then, there are people who write...
...to make money!
These people are geared toward writing books that become best-sellers!
No matter what the reason is, writing is a talent, whether you are blessed with natural ability or you have developed it through writing courses and workshops. Before you start creating your book, you should realize that there are some fundamental skills you need to develop in order to become a best-selling author:
To write a best-selling book, you need to:Be organized and take action to complete the assignment.
tap into and release your creativity for your readers enjoyment and instruction
Set the goal of providing some kind of useful information for the benefit of others
Next, you need to provide your audience with what they want to read. There are evergreen "hot topics" that you know will generate some interest if you write about them. These classic topics include health and fitness, relationships, family topics, self-help and personal growth, hobbies and crafts, just to mention a few.
After you have decided upon the topic of your book, start collecting ideas for it.
When something grabs your attention, no matter where you are, write it down and capture as much information as you can. Thoughts could come to you at any time. You might be grocery shopping or at your son's soccer game. The best thing is to be prepared and always keep a pad of paper and pen with you. Or, even better, you can have a small hand-held voice recorder.
You'll be amazed at where inspiration can strike. For example, as you are sitting at your child's outdoor sporting event, focus on things going on around you. Perhaps you see a child playing off by himself in the dirt and you watch as another child around the same age slowly and shyly approaches, wanting to be friends. Before long, they have bonded and are now sharing their toys. Write the scenario down and think later, about ways you could use that story to illustrate a point when you are writing your book. A pad of paper and pen or the voice recorder will soon become your greatest companion!
The "ideas" you collect don't necessarily have to apply to your current writing project. Keep the collected ideas on hand for the right moment or project. When you need ideas, simply refer to your idea collection to draw something new from it, and something fresh to spawn more ideas!
