Answer:

I don't really know how to answer this properly so ill just say this:

Currently, I am writing a book and when you start I think you should just do whatever. Not everyone starts off great. Just write down all your ideas and don't think about them just write. The more you think the more you question yourself and then it will just get harder before you even started. After you think you ran out of ideas, then read it over and your brain will do the rest from there.

Whatever idea you want your story or book to be about I think you should make sure you read enough books or material about the topic so you can kind of have an idea of what's going on.

Having a good support system helps too. I have a couple of friends who read my stories or books and they tell me things I should add or things that don't look right and it always makes everything sound better.

I looked your question up one day because I was also curious and this is what it says:

Step 1: Set Proper Expectations for Yourself.

Step 2: Schedule a Time and Place to Write Each Day

Step 3: Set a Specific Writing Goal

Step 4: Create Your Deadlines

Step 5: Announce Your Book

Step 6: Give Yourself a New Identity: Author

I'll be honest I still haven't used one of those steps but people still say that my stories are pretty good. So mostly just do you and:

  • When you write make sure your ready to be writing for a little while
  • Have a support system (Friends or family, all that good stuff)
  • Research is always a good idea
  • Don't think too hard just let your brain go and the ideas will come pouring in

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps you even if it only a little bit :)
