Your voice as a writer is meant to be heard by the world. A lot of people may tell you that you are thinking about the impossible but you can always prove them wrong. Everyone has a shot in this field for as long as you are determined enough to follow your dreams. This is where this article can help you with.

Take those small yet organized steps. The path to how to write a book shall come naturally to you. However, you have to try to push yourself to your limit as well. Thus, start with three hundred words everyday. With this technique, your body shall be the one to tell that you need to write for the day.

Create an outline even if your ideas are still vague right now. Again, order is very important if you want to come up with something definite for your story. Start with your preliminary concept. Then proceed to the climax. Most importantly, decide on whether the end will be happy one or not.

You should pick a time range for your work. If you have always been a night person, write when everyone is already sleeping. There shall be silence and nobody will be disturbing your train of thoughts. The morning shift can be great too for as long as your family will respect your need for solitary.

Have a place for your work as well. Try to stay away from your bedroom as much as possible. In that way, you would not be tempted to sleep again. It would also be best for you to sit in a proper chair for your posture to remain the same even when you have to write for several hours in a day.

Have a word count for your chapters. Books may all be about creativity but you will always have to adhere to the deadline of your editor. So, simply train yourself to become at your most organized self for you to prove your worth to all the publishers out there. Be a novice who already has an understanding on the basics in this craft.

You must adhere to your personal weekly deadlines. They can help you be less lazy. With this mind set, you could have more free time at the end of the week which you can spend with the people you love.

You should ask for an immediate feedback. Remember that revisions are best made when the story is still fresh on your mind. However, if your editor has tight deadlines too, you should be patient and make yourself productive instead. Think of new titles or you can also use this time to rest.

Do not let your first draft stay with you for too long. You are still going to be rejected one way or another. So, the best thing for you to do is get on with it and start again for you to know how you can get better as a writer.
