Do You Have a Story To Share But Don't Know Where to Begin to Write and Publish a Book? How to Begin Writing a Book

Saying that you want to write a book someday is being a waiter, not a writer. The only thing it takes to become a writer is to write. There is not a magic super sauce to writing.

People use many excuses not to write but they all come down to fear. When you face your fear and you just do it and begin writing, you will become a writer. It is about setting an intention, ditching perfectionism, not editing while writing, let it be information bulimia, don't worry about punctuation or grammar. As you go through the process of writing you grow your confidence and become a writer.

Even Stephen King and Jodi Picoult struggle when writing. Imposter syndrome is real for everyone.

Writing a Book is Like Creating a Sculpture

Debby likens the first draft of a book to a sculpture and the way Michaelangelo created it. He started with a block of marble. You begin writing and then your editor will relate to you and your story and be able to help you create a beautiful and impactful book. An editor relationship is a lot like a beloved and trusted mentor or doctor. They are all up in your business and have to approach your book with so much love and tenderness that you are comfortable opening up and sharing with them. One editor may not be right for everyone because of sensibilities, etc.
