I have had a few people approach me saying that they would love to write a book but do not know where to start and my seemingly flippant response to them is always…’just start’. I really do not believe there is trick or a formula to writing a book. But please note I am referring to writing a book and not getting a book published. So what I would like to share is what my process was and what I learnt that could help the next person. 1. Writing a book So I did not start off as writing a book, I was journaling and expressing my innermost thoughts in the safest way possible. What that did was to take the pressure off as I wrote as and when inspiration struck. The downside of that is that your writing can then take long if you are always waiting for inspiration.
