You can't learn how to write books




A few times I got a request to show someone how to write books. I should explain to someone the writing process, but without a fee. It should be voluntary work to inform someone how to write a book.

The Internet is full of selfish people. Even if someone tries to hide their personality, it will pop up with their actions. Do you expect something from strangers, not offering anything to return?

The root of writing is inspiration. There is no pattern in how to write. This is a feeling you wear inside, and an inside voice that leads you to throw words on the paper. You must understand the difference between the desire to write and the ability to write.

Some will attend workshops or pay money to learn the basics of writing, but writing without passion is like a song without music.

Hemingway had a lot of typing errors but his work was a masterpiece. 

Today is a problem that everyone thinks he can write a bestseller. A successful writer is one who has reached the audience.

The Internet will offer many possibilities and Amazon is a great tool for indie authors. The market is huge, so you can get lost in the crowd of many books. 

Why don't you believe that you can learn how to write?

First, what is the right solution for me is not a solution for everyone else. I am a pantser, spontaneous and unpredictable. Some will expect the muse to hit them and whisper ideas. I don't expect the hit of inspiration.

My ideas are around me, I just need to open my eyes. Writer block doesn't exist for me. 

Second, everyone who thinks of earning a big money from writing must give up illusions. The expenses of cover, editing, and promotion are too big and only the bestseller author can cover it. You must love books to understand the authors. It is not something you can learn in courses.

There's so much that goes on behind the scenes in the life of a writer. It's not for the faint of heart. As for learning how to write, for the most part, it's baptism by fire.

6 signs that your readers don't read your book

Your book is live. That day came, and now you need an audience, a reader's community to show interest. What you need are readers who will read and review your book. The author feel excited like a student who went to the exam and waits for his mark. In this situation, you are not afraid of negative reviews. What is the point? Sometimes, your readers are not reading your book. They pretend they read, instead of this they are scrolling pages and write reviews, thinking they are doing a favor. A real reader will need time to read book. It is not fast eating and swallowing, there is much more in reading books. It demands your time, focus and attention, also understanding. That is why I read 20-30 books per year, I can't do more. A book review can talk much about reader. If the review is short, it could be a sign that a book is not read. Maybe I am wrong, maybe a reader did not enjoy so he left only a note. How to know your book is not read? There are no sign of reading pages in your...
