WHO?
Now we come to the last of our questions - who?
From previous posts you can tell I’m not a bestselling author dishing out advice. I’m just a guy who works a regular job every day and sets aside time for writing every morning. If I can write a book, anybody can.
We’re all familiar with stories of people who have great ideas for a story but never get around to setting the words to paper. In my view, the worst story is one that remains untold.
Think back to school days and when the teacher handed out an assignment for a two-page report, or five pages, or whatever. At the time that seemed like so much writing. Now I can knock out two pages in short order. And if you do a couple of pages each day, it begins to add up, until one day you have a book.
Maybe it’s just part of my personality, but writing a book takes more than a day and I’m in it for the long haul. Are there days where I’d rather sleep in? Sure. Are there days where I sit in front of the laptop and feel like I’m fresh out of words? Yes, and on many of those days I end up with close to 2,000 words. It’s crazy but true.
Like I said, I’m just a guy who likes to write. And as I like to say, I have to write the story so I can find out how it ends.
