Book Writing Tips for starters

Here are a few tips which might help out the budding writers out there. Here they are

1)Dedicate days
Plan a day in a week or few in a month when will you concentrate on writing. Don't clutter your ideas with work to be done. Wake up early, take your laptop and go to your favourite cafe. Absorb the atmosphere AND START WRITING.

2)Structure First
Have a basic idea of what you want to write about in your mind. Spend a few days thinking of a great topic to start with. If you go with a confused concept, or with a couple of ideas, it may not work out well. A coherent thinking is a an essential for a good book,so begin well.

3)Go with the flow
Once you have a basic idea in the mind, let your thoughts run. Be createful,thoughtful, even pensive. Whatever your mood commands, go for it. It's easier to edit later,but sometimes the most natural thoughts are the best ones.

4)Set a deadline
While its okay to give yourself sometime to let the book shape up, keep a rough sketch in your mind by when do you need to finish it. Treat it as a time bound project. This way you will be more productive.

5)Network
Never immerse yourself in the book so much that you forget about the final reward - publishing. Keep a note of the best publishers in the town,and talk to them about the subject of your book. Also speak to your friends for important leads that may help you in your book

Hope some of you out there find them useful. Comments are welcomed
