#28 - Just Do It.
So, you want to be an author, but you feel intimidated by the vast number of books and authors that you see on social media or Amazon? Guess what? They all started somewhere. Yep, they all started with an idea and a desire to write.
Do you feel inspired by something that has happened in your life? Do you enjoy reading stories that your favorite author writes? Do you feel like others would like to hear about something remarkable that happened to you or someone you love? Do you like to research and share about ancient history? The sky is the limit!
It may only be notes at first, and probably will be. Add to them regularly and you'll be surprised how fast they will have enough substance to form a story thread. There's a plethora of information about writing out there and just as many authors who are willing to help you. Indie authors are some of the best folks on this planet.
So, what are you waiting for? Go old school if you have to and sharpen that pencil and find a pad of paper. Go forward and just do it!
Until next time...That's all folks! - Rob & Joan

10moI completed the novel. Now, all the revision. That is what slowed me down. A number of professionals have given my story feedback and it seems my story is never done. How do we know when it's good enough to self-publish?
