How to Gain the Skills to Write a Book

Writing a book is a difficult task. Many basic writing skills and the organization of a complex piece of writing is needed.

But how to acquire the skills necessary to write a book?

I will answer this question by dividing the two skills. First is the ability to write. And the second will be to write a complex piece like a book.

Simple to learn to write answer is that there is no easy answer.

The way to learn to write is in three parts. You must first read. So much. Read everything you can get your hands on. Read fiction genre. Read non-fiction. Read manuals. Executive self-help reading. I just read. Everything and anything!

Second, you need to write. No matter what. Just write. Copy the fiction that you thought was so good. Write a conversation. Write a paragraph how. Write a piece of fiction paragraph two. Write a story in one sentence. Write a poem that you like. Write a pastiche of a poem you like. No matter what you write. Just write. A lot of writing. Like everything I can.

Third. You must repeat the first two steps. Many times. Again and again and again and again. Every day.

This is the only way to become a better writer.

Or the answer is simple.

The reality - as usual - is a bit more complex. Yes, you have to do what you say the simple answer. However, there is a form of writing that are constantly ... oral. That's right, talk. So write like you talk. Let your natural voice to shine through. Do not write to the drive, talk to them on the kitchen table. Tell them you are best friends.

Now it will work to give you the skills to write a short play. And the ability to write a short play for a book is required. However, what about the responsibility of writing a complex piece like a book.

There are three ways you can learn to write complex pieces, like a book:

1 You can learn by trial and error. Just give it a try. Yes, you're going to fall flat, but keep trying. As you do find better ways to write a book. Keep trying and keep falling headlong. Finally, if you're lucky, you'll discover how to write a book. The problem with this, of course, is that it takes much time and effort. And there is no guarantee it will succeed.

2 You can learn more by trial and error. Hey, at least not have to make mistakes. The other person has done. The problem with this technique is that you have no guarantee of the quality of the solution of the other person.

3 O you can learn from someone who has the ability to build systems. Writing is a system and a large group of people - mostly information technology - have been training in system design. They learn by trial and error, and then design a solution. The advantage is that not only do not have to learn by trial and error yourself, but you know that the system works well acquired - efficiently and effectively.
