I've always wanted to write a book but......?
I've always wanted to write a (selective) autobiography but I keep getting bogged down in the details. Is there a simple technique to get around this?
How do pro athletes, politicians,etc., who claim to devote their every waking moment to their professions manage to find the time to churn out books in a short time? I've always heard that many authors spend years of rejection trying to get anything published only to be successful eventually.
Is there anywhere that you can submit an "outline" of what you wish to do for evaluation? Are "ghost writers" just for celebrities, or, are there talented people who will take a story and help develop it into a something that might be published? I just want to write one stupid book!
I'm 62 with many, I believe, interesting stories from my life growing up in South Chicago, the Military and 43 years in the auto industry (with some insight). Any reason to give it a try (or not)??? Thanks to all.

Go for it - if you have some stories and sruff you believe people would enjoy or learn from, write them out. The simplest technique I can give you is just planning. Which chapter is dedicated to what, how you want your story to come out, basically. Just give it a go. You can't fail if you don't try, but you can't succed, either. :3

Well, I myself am writing a guide. I have been running on a commencing for a number of years and simplest now have i observed one that's appropriate. See, you have got to begin penning this guide for your self. Don't fear an excessive amount of approximately what you write the primary time, given that you'll be able to continuously return and difference matters. i grow to be crossing out part a web page, many times.Keep a pocket book. Its will also be of something-precise main points that encourage you, suggestions for what's going to occur on your guide, even a time line. Anything that is helping. Sometimes you'll be able to write some thing and appear at it later with thoroughly extraordinary eyes. Keep going again and studying what you've gotten written over. Good success! Remember-your first take a look at does not must be your final!
