Is Writing a Book Difficult
I want to write a book, where do I start?
You may have found yourself asking how do I begin writing my first book because I am not a writer and I have never written a book in my life?
Start by finding a niche. What are your skills, and what makes you passionate about it? What is something that you can talk for days about and can help others understand? Or do you have something to publicly announce? Start by writing a hook that will catch the attention of the reader for the introduction.
Writing takes practice.
Just write and revise.
