<\/strong>\"Simple<\/a>Book writing, especially nonfiction books, can sometimes be daunting because\u00a0there is often quite a bit of research to be done in order to ensure accuracy. As a result many\u00a0authors struggle with how much time\u00a0they have and want to expend in gathering their facts. While there is no one single solution for this for this dilemma, I typically advise that you spend as much time as possible to get it right. Otherwise, you will either spend more time rewriting or end up with a less than successful product on your hand. Remember that if you want to make money and be successful at the writing\u00a0craft,\u00a0you must always treat it like a business.<\/p>\n

One consolation is\u00a0that is comforting to\u00a0know that at some point even established, successful authors have struggled with the same issues than less experienced ones deal with. The challenge when an author is just beginning to build his or her writing knowledge and skills is to avoid thinking negatively about their writing.\u00a0When I do writing workshops, I encourage people gather their information and tools, then sit down and\u00a0let their ideas flow. Just get the ideas on the page or in a computer without\u00a0worrying about editing. Grammar, syntax, and punctuation can always be fixed later with software, through self-editing and by working with a competent professional editor.<\/p>\n
