Stop Thinking about IT

The first big hurdle to clear is the endless "thinking" about how to begin. In order to write a book, you have to have a story. If you have a story, the most important thing to do is to "get it out of you!"

Don't worry about what it will look like, what it will feel like, or how it will flow. Editors are wonderful and they make their living helping you craft your story into something pleasing to the reader. It's like a stream of thought, you just have to get it going and it will flow.

If you are serious enough to be reading this blog about writing, then you need to make up your mind and start writing your book! Getting the story out of you is only the beginning, trust me, the process of publishing is a whole other challenge. But that's another blog for another day.

Remember, you can do this! Don't be bullied by the unknown, instead launch into it and trust that you will be able to weather the storm.
