Anyone who is alive and are able to read and write should at least leave something behind like a legacy when they depart from this world. This topic is not about death and why you will die. It is all about your personal awareness to your existence and the most important role you have played or have yet to play or undermine in your life to deserve a publishing contract.

A majority of us will never make an attempt to tell their story while alive and ticking; simply because they think writing a book needs a special talent or a magic wand to warrant receiving an accolade. This is not true, the myth that you need to be “special and gifted” is just another fallacy to make you think your story is less important to you or us potential readers of your benevolent tale.

Writing a book is no where difficult than it is learning a new skill. Like riding a bicycle or learning how to drive or cook delicious family meals. Everything in life is and has a learning curve and acquiring new skills requires a little more effort and time before one can master it as an art. Yes! Some people are more gifted and talented in writing excellent successful books than others. But this depends on which book genre one needs to exploit to discover their true calling.

Or we can debate this issue to try and find an excuse “why you can’t write” which leaves you with one option. Pretend you’re not alive and history will not remember who you were among people who walked this earth.  Any person willing to try writing as a career or hobby can become a successful full-time well paid reputable author if given a chance and the opportunity to try it out without being judgmental about it.
