If you’re reading this article then you probably have wondered at some point in their lives, “Do I have everything necessary to become an author?” I believe that successful authors, those who actually write and finish that novel or book of poetry, or even that the book of stories and see all the way to publication, have certain characteristics. Characteristics of Authors 1. They like to sit for hours in front of a computer screen (or with pencil and paper), write (write) away. 2. They think about their book, even when not writing. 3. They are motivated to finish his book. 4. They are motivated to correct, edit and revise their finished book until it is the best. 5. They are motivated to publish his book. 6. Once published the first book, who are already working on the next. If you answered yes to any of the above, then you have a good chance to achieve their dreams of becoming an author. Do not listen to people who say there is a competitive market. Do not listen to people say that I have written five books and have not had one published yet. And do not listen to people who send you back to your manuscript! Listen to yourself. Hear the inner voice that is whispering now. But wait until you get started. Once your book is written and published, that inner voice roar! And everyone will hear about it. I know, I know. I tend to be optimistic. But we have so many pessimists in the business of book, really need a bit more optimistic about! For you, the beginning writer who wants to start writing that book first, the best way to begin is to start writing. Yes, just sit back and do it. Stop the other activities, television, reading, shopping, telephone conversations, and finding time to spend at least an hour a day to writing. What is an hour a day in the scheme of things? He comes and goes like this, poof! What has to show after an hour of television? A lazy yawn? If that same time is spent writing, then there would be a product in their hands, something that will be shared, hopefully, one day with others. So go ahead, shut the door to the world for one hour (or more) and get comfortable in front of the computer screen (or pen and paper). Let’s take the first step to becoming an author. Getting Started Foundation As a construction company that creates a foundation for a house, you must also prepare a foundation for their career in writing. Do not skip this step, is important. His “base” will consist of basic writing skills. Remember that it took English courses in high school and college? If you do not remember any of these courses, then there would be a bad idea if you find old textbooks English, shook off a little, and looked through their pages to refresh your memory. If you have not participated in a creative writing course, you might consider signing up for one. Check with your local community college. They often offer evening classes and weekend classes and sometimes even online. If you’re on a budget, then visit the public library and sign books for writing. It would also be very helpful to join a group of writers (online or in your local area) that criticism of their work and gives you the opportunity to critique as well. The group provides support and a wonderful way to develop their skills as they gain experience in writing, as well as exposure to the writing of others. For example, writing. com is a good example of an online resource that offers many opportunities to share their writing, and get your work evaluated and revised. To join a group of criticism or review, which also offers. The second step in becoming an author, is having the right tools. Tools Required Besides a comfortable chair, lots of light and a quiet room, you need a computer with a word processor (eg Microsoft Word), printer, and a lot of paper. Why a team? First, publishers usually request a copy of the files sent to them on a floppy. More importantly, working with a word processing program will help in many ways to become a published author. Provide an opportunity to save your work as a Word file without having to spend tons of paper (as with a typewriter). This helps a lot to keep your work organized. It also gives you the flexibility to edit and re-edit much of their work quickly so you can use the functions of copying and pasting. Other advantages of using a computer program is text processing that helps to explain the verification capabilities, and also helps you count the number of words per page. In addition, when you want to spice up your vocabulary (for example, if you like using the word “walk” often, and are getting tired of that word), place the cursor on the word “walk”, hit shift F7. It will give you a list of synonyms to choose from – such as walking, walking, etc.). The time saved by using a computer is very valuable. It gives you more time to write! Of course, if you do not have the above materials, do not let that stop you from writing that book! Using a pen and paper is perfectly fine. Books were written with these two basic tools for centuries. Suppose you are using a computer and word processing software. First, before you start writing, the form of a subdirectory that you can add all the chapters. Maybe you know the title of his book already. Well, as a subdirectory with the name of the title. After you’ve finished writing the first chapter (oh joy!), Just save it as heading 1 in the subdirectory. If you are writing a book of poetry, then you may want to save each poem as a separate file. When I write my chapters of my novel mode format, double spaced with a font Times New Roman 11. All margins of at least one inch. Thus ready for the submission of the manuscript. Try not to add your page numbers to the last review. Page numbers change constantly when you’re reviewing, so wait until the end. Finally, another reason to have a computer for Internet access. As a writer, you will have the opportunity to present its line of fiction, such as http://www. Writing. com, or their articles online for electronic journals, such as http://www. articlecity. com. Any chance you can get to write online, do so. To the extent that it has too much time away from your book. It is also a way to promote free yourself before the book is still published. So you need to balance your time writing that book, improving your writing skills, presentation of their work along the way for others to critique, and promoting himself. Can it? Of course you can! The third step to becoming an author is: What to write If you are planning to write a novel, he asked what general category your book is going to be in. Is it in romance, mystery or science fiction category? If you do not know, take some time and think about it. Read some books in those genres. What books seem to attract more? It is very likely that you will be writing in the category that likes to read. My preference is romance because I read the types of books. Once you decide the category, then you are closer to writing that novel! For poetry, you can start by writing a poem and submitting it to a poetry magazine, or a poetry contest. Arrive at your poetry. Join a critique group so you can develop your poetry skills. A book usually consists of about 25-35 poems. For a book of poetry, you’ll need at least 60 pages of poetry, if not more. Types of novelists I have found over time that two types of novelists. The first type is the writer who prefers the development of a proposal or plan what to write. The second type prefers to write what comes to mind at the time. You decide that the writer is. Type 1 Novelist They begin by describing the characters, their names, characters, and sometimes their motives. Then choose when and where the adjustment is carried out. When do you? If it occurred before 1900, you will be considered historic. It will be the stage is in the country, in a city (what city?), In a house (whose house) on a cruise? That should also be defined. Once you make these decisions, write brief profiles of each chapter. It could be one or two pages long. Once this is done, then the real writing begins. If this method works for you, then do not hesitate to use it. It may take some time, but you will have more confidence in what I write after this initial pass. Type 2 Novelist What if you are the type of person who does not want to spend so much time writing proposals and sketches of the characters? What if you’re like me, who prefers to just write what comes to mind? Then do it! Sit down and start writing. Write anything. As the story unfolds, something wonderful begins brewing in your mind. Something called creativity. I’ve surprised myself hours after he finished writing a chapter, and I’ll be making dinner or walking somewhere, and a scene of my novel begins to develop. It’s called creative problem-solving. My mind is working to solve the problem with writing, although I am not busy writing. When I get cravings, I will immediately stop what I’m doing and jot down my thoughts. It has helped me many times, especially when everything clicks together. How long will it take? It took me almost two years to write and find a publisher for my first novel Lipsi’s Daughter. For others, it may take more or less, depending on the amount of time writing and allow the number of pages they are writing. I know authors who had six, seven or twelve years to write his first book. I also know of a famous writer who writes two novels a year! So unless you start writing the first page of your book, you never know how long it will take you to write. Come on, that the first step, and good luck!
