Are you Ready to be a Writer
A lot of people have the dream of writing a book, a memoir, a story, a poem, "One day... I'll do that." They'd really like to but.... they never get started.
Why not?
Often the lack of follow through is due to a belief deep down that they aren't a writer. They don't know what to write. They don't know how to write. They were never good in English class, they don't know a verb from an adverb, they don't know how to punctuate and their grammar sucks. And they don't think anyone would read it. Or if they do they won't like it.
The neat thing about writing is you can really start doing it at any age. Any time. There are young children who are writing, teenagers, people in their twenties, some in midlife and some well into their 80's. One gentleman was over 100 years old when he started. He published his book at 103 years old. So it's never too late to start. If you really keep saying you'd like to write something.... now is the time.
Writing isn't about following the rules, although many people will tell you it is. It really isn't. Don't get me wrong before you put out your finished product... click here to read more - http://tinyurl.com/ablpkbr .
