ok, i want to write a book, but i dont think i have the skills to do so?

Question

so, is there someone that could help arrange and make sense of everything i want to say?

Answer 1

Nothing wrong with having ambition, but it might help to start with smaller steps. Read tons of books and see why you enjoy them and see what makes a good writer. Try writing shorter pieces until you learn how to sustain an idea through a novel-length manuscript.

Write! The more you write, the better you will get. Keeping a journal is helpful, too. And find someone you trust, who has good grammar skills, to look over your work and help you learn to edit.

Invest some time at the library looking at reference books on writing and grammar and brush up your skills. Find some books on writing exercises and give them a try.

Just put pen to paper or finger to keyboard and try it. You'll never know if you don't try.

Good luck!

Answer 2

The person you're looking for is you, after a lot more practice. Believe it or not, answering questions here on a regular basis will help you get all of your thoughts more organized---since you'll be writing for an audience, you'll be learning how to communicate more effectively with words, and you'll discover what words work best to get your meanings across.

Off the net, write. Every day. About anything. If you have a story to tell, it will happen.

Answer 3

What you need is a ghost writer.You'd have to pay this person.Basically you give the g/writer a few chapters and that person would write it legibly and correctly.When completed you'd forward to a publiher.Many successful authors use ghost writers.

Answer 4

Just start writing and see where it takes you..
