So here are 50 excuses for not writing the book you would like to write: there are those who make them all their own, those who make only some and those who, fortunately, none. I only have one: number 26. In reality I should also have a few others, so as not to sin with immodesty and pride, but I am a careless person by nature and I don't care about other excuses. I don't have the skills : If you're writing fiction you don't have the skills a scientist needs to write a book about biology or quantum physics. However, you must read up on what you will have to write. And to find out more, just read. As a writer you won't be able to do without it. I don't know anyone in publishing : if you start from the fact that to publish a book you need recommendations, then forget it.
If your work is of good quality, the publisher you send it to will take it into consideration. Then you too will know someone in publishing. I don't have money : you don't need it. The only expenses to be paid in order to publish a book are the Special Data books to read and a computer to write. It's too difficult : no one ever said it was easy. Writing is a sacrifice. It's a mental effort. It is a work of patience and dedication. There will definitely be other books like mine : if you're talking about the literary genre, certainly yes. If you talk about the topic, it's very likely. But unless you shamelessly copy another writer's work, your book is unlikely to be like anyone else's. I don't know where to start : we always start from the beginning, so as not to make mistakes.
You have to have an idea first, then you have to develop it and turn it into a story, then think about the characters and the setting. In the meantime you need to do some documentation. When the story is defined, then summarize all the chapters. And then he starts writing. And finally to rewrite. I'm afraid of criticism from readers : then don't write. Criticism is part of the game and serves to mature and improve. I'm afraid of criticism from other writers : there will certainly be some. There will also be some envy, why not? To overcome this fear, read point 7. Nobody will buy it : how can you say that? If the book is published by a serious publishing house, if it is promoted adequately, even with your help, you can be sure that someone will buy it. Readers are not ready to read it : then you are ahead of your time, as many great writers have been. Be proud of this.
