Anyone with a story to tell can write a book either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see. Getting started is often the hardest part so set up a good workspace create a regular writing schedule and stay motivated to keep writing something every day. Focus on developing a big idea that drives your narrative as well as at least one unforgettable character and realistic conflicts. Once youve written and revised your manuscript consider your publishing options to get it into readers hands. Clarify why youre writing a book. Before you start writing or typing or even thinking too much about your book be honest with yourself about your reasons for writing it. Are you hoping to become rich and famous? Is it a necessity for advancing your career? Do you dream of seeing your name on a book cover? Do you simply have a great story that you want to share with the world?

Set up a workspace that works for you. Theres no one ideal workspace for every writer. Some prefer a quiet desk in an isolated room while others work best amidst the clatter of a coffee shop. Most writers though tend to work best with minimal distractions and with easy access to any materials they may need.

Schedule writing into your daily routine. Its easy to say that writing occurs in spurts of inspiration so you should just be ready to drop everything and write when the spark of creativity hits you. However this is also a great way to not get any writing done. Instead try specifically blocking off a writing time into your daily schedule.

Establish daily and weekly writing goals. Instead of hoping to produce 10 pages at a time during random spurts of creativity try setting a goal to write 1 page each day. Set your writing goal based on your writing speed and any specific deadlines and try not to adjust it after youve set it.

Write without worrying about editing. This is another key component of writing on a set schedule just focus on writing something now and figure out if its any good or how it needs to be fixed up later. To finish a book live by the mantra write fast edit slow.

Get feedback early and often. Dont wait until youve completed an entire book draft before showing it to anyone. Let someone you trust look over each chapter and offer primarily big picture feedback that is general opinions on the clarity and quality of the work as opposed to close editing for style and grammar.Self-published authors can make between 40% – 60% royalties on a single book sale while traditionally published authors usually make between 10%-12% royalties
