Write A Book

Many people have the dream of becoming a published author. While some people specialize in a certain type of writing, many dream of what they consider the ultimate prize, the time to write a book. Many, many people you know may have started to write a book, but the unfinished story is sitting in a desk drawer, forgotten. This is a shame, but it is a common story. It takes a lot of dedication to write a book, and some people simply don't find the time to fit it into their life.

For those who do, there is much more to it than just writing the book. Once you have a finished product, you have to edit until your eyes fall out. Many writers may write a book, but the editing becomes too much for them, and they don't have the energy to do the many rewrites they need to do to get a better product. Some hire professional editors, but for many struggling writers, this is just not an option.

Who knew that writing a book would be so hard? You would think that once you are done writing the book that would be it; someone would take it out of your hands, give you a check and tell you that they would take it from there. Instead there is more work.

After the best book you ever wrote is completed and edited, you still have to get it published. This task in itself can take many years. Basically you need to print a thousand copies of your book and mail it to every publisher you have ever heard of. They will send you back a lot of rejection slips, but on occasion one intelligent publisher may agree to print it.

In the event that there are no intelligent publishers out there to print your book, you can consider self-publishing. This involves taking care of, and paying for printing, marketing and distributing the book. Again this is going to take more work on your part as well as a lot of your money. The bonus is that no one else gets a cut when your book starts flying off the shelves.
