Writing a book

Writing certainly isn't that glamorous.. new authors are too many and unless you have superb connections, you might get rejected many times before a publisher is willing to look at your work. Try self-publishing if you want. www.lulu.com is a starting point for you when you get your book done up. ;P

I have never tried to write a book before. I am not that talented! If you feel that you should write a book I think you should! Even if the chances of getting it published may not happen, it is still a sense of accomplishment to have achieved your goal. You can look into internet publishing or call around to local publishers to see where you can get started!

That has always been a latent goal of mine. I say latent because I haven't done much of anything to make it happen yet, but it is frequently on my mind. I feel like I have something to say in a book. I feel like that that could be my ultimate path, but I haven't found my direction just yet. I do like to write very much, and I'd love to have a bestselling novel so I could stop worrying about money, but my motivation to want to write a book is not purely about money. It would just be a nice by-product of a successful book.

In 2005 I published a cookbook of Danish recipes in English, but I gave the book a Danish title. It's called "Tak For Mad," which translates to "Thanks For The Food." It was easy to do, as I self-published, using http://www.lulu.com More information on my book can be found here!

I've always thought that would be a really neat thing to do also. I just never quite knew how to begin. Taking a writing class might help. And starting with an outline of your ideas, and how the characters are going to interact and develop would be a place to start. Just try to write in the style that you like to read. Good luck!

I have never written a book (other than collections of poetry and novellas for creative writing class)... but I have never written one professionally. I have been published in my school's literary magazines several times though. I would love to write a book someday, but I'd like to wait until I have a few more years of life experience under me.
