I want to write a book. It’s not a stupid determination to get published and get a slew of money. It’s nothing something incredously minging like that fact. To be frank, I care too little if I’ll get published or not. All that I want is to write a book about whatever subject comes to my mind and look at it all printed and looking good on my desk. I’ll probably send it to friends and collect their opinions about it. I want to write this book for me ( first of all ) and nothing more.
I used to browse the internet for advice from succesful writers and read books with advice and techniques that famous writers use to be truly succesful. Until it came to my mind that this will not help me to get my book written. Not at all. And that’s because everyone writes in his own style ( of course, there are certain common parts but on the whole, it is different ) and for me it’s very important to have my own style and write this book in my own personal manner and using my own vision of things, not tainted by any other things. Some advice about paging and editing are very useful but just those, not the ones about techniques and ways to hit it to the top.
I have to confess it is very hard to write a book not thinking about getting published and obtain some money but in this way I exercise in that book all my sincerity and all my mind. Writing a book for your own and not for money is a truly hard challenge but you feel more pleased with yourself after you’re done with writing it and you see your manuscript finished on the table. You’re so proud of yourself that you wrote something that’s practically a part of you and you did that for your own sake.
