Tips when writing a book!

Writers & Writing

Writing is one of the most fulfilling hobbies and can enhance creativity, let you express your feelings and makes you more intelligent. But, writing a book for the first time is a daunting task, so here are my favourite writing tips!

1. Just write.

I feel like this is the most common mistake. Instead of going back every 5 lines and editing and editing and editing, just keep writing. It doesn't matter how awful the writing is, you can go back and edit after you finished your chapter.

2. Don't stop at the end of the chapter

 

Don't wait for the chapter to get over to stop writing. Instead stop midscene, so that when you come back you know what to write, instead of being in a writer's block slump.

3.  In a writer's block?

Incase of a writer's block, don't try to force the creativity out. Take long walks, sleep, draw, be in nature , spend time with friends. Soon, you'll be writing again (yes, it's a ghibli reference!).

4. Please read my book

When you give your book to your friends, don't expect them to treat it with love and care, read it whenever they can, cry over it, cause let's be honest, it may be a part of your soul but to them it is just a book.

5. Publishing

Don't expect a thousand buys in a week. People will buy it over time , a lot of time, maybe more than two years.

I hope this article helped you and I will be posting more writing advice on my blog.
