Write about something that has Meaning to You: ď‚—The first strategy you need to employ if you're
interested in becoming an author is to write about a topic that means something to you. Don't try writing about a book that you don't care about or that with which you have no emotional connection. Choosing something that you really care about will give you a connection to the book you are writing. If you are going to invest time into this pursuit, you need to have feelings and passion to back it up.
Set Goals and Plan Ahead:
ď‚—It's also important that you set goals and plan ahead if
you want to be an author. Have an idea of when you want to complete your book. Figure out how long it will take you each day to reach the goals that you have. Make a plan for the book and when you plan to finish it, - then stick to the plan.
ď‚—Plan out the story and know where you are going with
the plot. Remember, the more planning that you do in the beginning, the easier it will be to write and the less editing you'll need to do in the end.
Write Every Single Day:
ď‚—One of the habits of successful authors is writing
every single day. Becoming an author is going to take this kind of dedication. Even if you don't feel like writing, you still need to sit down and write. If you want to become a writer, you definitely have to write. Even if you only write for a short period of time, make sure you write.
Understand it Takes Hard Work and Commitment: ď‚—Some people think that becoming an author is easy.
They're wrong. It takes hard work and commitment to be successful. Prepare yourself to work hard because it takes a lot of work to become a successful author and it takes a lot of work to stay there as well. Even once you get noticed and published, you'll still have to work hard and stay committed if you want real success.
Overcome the Writer's Block:
ď‚—Becoming an author is going to require overcoming
writer's block. Usually, writer's block occurs because of fear, which leads to procrastination. Don't allow fear manifested as writer's block to keep you from reaching your goal. Write every day. Plan the book and stick to that plan. Do everything you can to overcome writer's block.
Be Persistent:
ď‚—Persistence is going to be an important strategy
needed if you're interested in becoming an author. Determination and persistence is the reason that many well-known authors have become successful. Prepare to be rejected and when that happens, submit it to someone else or rewrite it and submit the manuscript again. Don't give up or you'll never reach your goal of becoming an author.
