When I say I wrote a book people are so amazed. "You wrote a book?" They are so intimidated by the thought of writin. Yet, there is a book in everyone. We all have a story to tell, fiction or non-fiction. I started writing and before I knew it, I was on my way.
Writing a book is not such an amazing feat. You just have to sit down at your computer or with a yellow legal pad and start...anywhere.
You don't have to start at the beginning. Start in the middle if you'd like. Start at the end and work backwards. It doesn't matter. Eventually you'll put it all together. And don't worry about grammar. Like the Nike commercial...Just Do It!
What would you like to write about? Perhaps something you're passionate about or something you're interested in at the moment. Nowadays, people are starting to write their memoirs and there are a number of workshops being offered in memoir writing. Take one. Start there...with your own life. Don't tell me your life is not interesting. Everyone's is and your grandchildren will enjoy reading it one day.
Write! Enjoy! There really is a story in you.
