So what goes into writting a book, can anyone do it, ive been wanting to do many things for a while but i think sense i was a kid i wanted to write a book or even a short story or something that i can publish. the thing is i have major dylexia, i tend to not plan things and instead write on the spot, also i have partiall ideas. i dont want to write fanfic but instead i want to do something more orginal. i was told i was a creative writter as a kid but im not sure about now.
im not even sure if writting a book is worth it or not i raley even read but yet i feel like something is missing in life. is there by chance a good youtube video that explains all of this?
While I don’t have the answers I did attempt to write a book for fun many years ago. It was quite an eye opening experience, because it turns out writing a book is hard, and very time consuming. I was only about 20 pages in before I gave up the idea.
That said, you don’t have to actually write a book. Writing creative essays, short stories, and even articles can be very rewarding without needing any long-term commitments. I’d give those a shot before jumping into something as big as making a real book. I still enjoy writing and I’m sure you will too, but you need a ton of commitment to make a book.
ill probrably end up writting a bunch of short storys.
I think this is what the likes of Andy Weir, Ernest Cline and Hugh Howey did - write short stories for blogs, then collate them together for a book.
